and the Department of Medicine, which is part of the Division of Infectious Diseases at San Francisco General Hospital. Binh A. Diep and George F. Sansabaugh are with the Division
of Infectious Diseases at the School of Public Health, University of California at Berkley. Heather A. Carleton, Edwin D. Charlebois and Francoise Perdreau-Remington are also with the Department of Medicine,
Division of Infectious Diseases at San Francisco General Hospital. Another member of the team, Barbara L. Haller, is with the Department of Clinical Microbiology at the University of California at
San Francisco (Pan, et al, 2003). As these credentials indicate, this research team is clearly well qualified to conduct this type of research. Methicillin-resistance Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections have
historically been associated with health care facilities and linked to well-defined risk factors (Pan, et al, 2003). MRSA epidemiology has recently appeared to be changing, as case studies, anecdotal reports
and epidemiological studies describe patients who have contracted community-acquired MRSA infections, and who lack health care associated risk factors. According to Pan, et al (2003), not only are the rates
of MRSA increasing, but the bacterial strain is developed newer, more drug-resistance strains at an alarmingly fast rate outside of the hospital environment. Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates obtained from patients
who were incarcerated at the San Francisco County jail showed a marked increase for MRSA in recent years.-- going from 29 percent in 1997 to 74 percent in 2002 (Pan,
et al, 2003). Additionally, two recent Center for Disease Control (CDC) reports describe large outbreaks of MRSA infection among inmates incarcerated in a Mississippi state prison and in Los Angeles
county jails. MRSA is generally spread through direct physical contact and also through indirect contact, such as through objects such as towels, sheets, clothes or sports equipment. Jails naturally
