Hospital bug epidemic at nursing home

At least 11 residents and nine members of staff at the De Weerde nursing home in Eindhoven have been infected by the MRSA bacteria – known as the ‘hospital bug’.


MRSA is usually harmless but can prove fatal to people with open wounds. It is often associated with poor hospital hygiene.
