[New Zealand Death Syndrome (NZDS), Health Bulletin # 11. Outbreak of Staphylococcus aureus, June 12, 2008]
["Unlucky"] Baby died after infection breakout
One of the “unlucky” 21 babies who caught the [potentially] fatal staphylococcus aureus infection in Auckland Hospital’s Neonatal unit died.
The bacteria is reportedly immune to common antibiotics. In a similar outbreak at Wellington Hospital in 2004 three babies died and at least 30 others infected.
The hospital’s infection control clinical adviser said the infection was relatively common in neonatal intensive care units. [Conclusion: The babies who died must have been "unlucky!"]
Bacterial cells of Staphylococcus aureus, which is one of the causal agents of mastitis in dairy cows. Its large capsule protects the organism from attack by the cow’s immunological defenses. Magnified 50,000X. (Source)
