Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA) became reportable in the state of North Dakota on
February 1, 2000 for invasive sites such as blood or cerebral
spinal fluid only. All MRSA infections became reportable on
August 1, 2002. This did not include screens. Effective April 1,
2007, the administrative rule was changed again making MRSA
isolated from only invasive sites reportable. |
