“…It is generally agreed that most infants in maternity units become colonized by staphylococci soon after birth and are then the most important immediate source of infection (Cunliffe, 1949;Parker and Kennedy, 1949;Hutchison and Bowman, 1957;Forfar and Maccabe, 1958). Gillespie et al (1958) came to the same conclusion and showed that the sites of heaviest colonization are the umbilicus, nose, groin, and perineum.…”

A simple bed-making routine results in considerable dissemination from both wool and cotton fabrics. Spread to other beds appears to occur both by direct contact and by the aerial route. The number of viable organisms recovered from the infected bedding fell by 90% after the first 72 hours. The significance of these results and those of other workers in relation to the problem of hospital crossinfection is discussed. We are indebted to Dr R. L. Willing, medical superintendent, Northfield Infectious Diseases Hospital, and to members of the nursing staff, whose interest and cooperation made this experiment possible. Our thanks are also due to Dr. Bermard Nicholson, medical superintendent, Royal Adelaide Hospital, for supplies of hospital bedding.
