 note = {We examined the prevalence of methicillin/multi-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) at 570 points in Yamanashi Medical University Hospital, which has 18 clinical departments and 600 inpatient beds.T he study consisted of 2 surveys on the environments for patients' and medical workers' in inpatient wards, central clinical facilities and 2 neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).The first survey revealed the occurrence of MRSA and Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) from all examined samples as 4.0% and 8.7% (MRSA/S. aureus/examined = 17/37/423), respectively. The subsequent survey on 2 NICUs resulted in values of 8.2% for MRSA and 8.8% for S.aureus (12/13/147). The susceptibility test for antimicrobial agents against MRSA isolates showed that all samples were susceptible to both arbekacin (ABK, aminoglycoside antibiotic) and vancomycin (VCM, polypeptide or glycopeptide antibiotic). Although medical examinations and treatments have been routinely performed in this hospital according to ""A Manual for Preventing a Nosocomial Infection of MRSA"", and a hospital meeting for prevention of MRSA is held monthly, the infection may not be sufficiently controlled. Based on our findings, we recommend immediate establishment of fulltime specialists, ""infection control nurses (ICNs)"", to prevent nosocomial infection.},
