Pat,
I worked with a mom who had acquired MRSA in the hospital and her baby had
mastitis which cultured MRSA, both treated. The infectious disease doc
offered the explanation that baby's nipple pores were likely more open and the
bacteria ascended into the child's breasts causing mastitis. This was
some years ago but what I remember.
