[Correspondence] Staphylococcus aureus in critical care

The Article by James Price and colleagues1 describes an important study that explores the role of health-care workers and the environment in patient acquisition of Staphylococcus aureus. We congratulate the team on the study, which, impressively, enrolled 95% of eligible health-care workers who, along with patients and the environment, were screened for S aureus; the large number of isolates were then analysed using whole-genome sequencing.
