Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been causing a large number of serious hospital infections in some of the major hospitals in Japan. Among the precautions to prevent MRSA infection in hospitals, antisepsis or disinfection is one of the most universal. The in vitro activities of commonly used antiseptics and disinfectants against several strains of MRSA isolated in the University of Tokyo Hospital were evaluated.
