- In an acute care hospital, we demonstrated that the clothing and shoes that physicians and nurses wear home from health care facilities can be contaminated with health care–associated pathogens, particularly methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. These findings suggest that the clothing and shoes of personnel have the potential to serve as vectors for the transfer of health care–associated pathogens to the community.
