Table 3

Frequencies of organisms isolated from culture specimens, grouped by screening status.

Bacterial Isolate	Screened	Not screened
MSSA	1	1
MRSA	0	2
CNS	4	2
Enterococcus	0	3
Other	3	5
No growth	2	4

MSSA: methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus; MRSA: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus; and CNS: coagulase negative Staphylococcus.
Cultures of some patients were positive for more than one bacterial species.
