NIH researchers and their colleagues identified multidrug-resistant pathogens on the skin of residents in nursing homes. They found that these potentially dangerous microbes spread widely among residents, indicating a need for improved testing and infection control measures to protect people in nursing homes and other vulnerable populations.
