Description
Yaovi Hounmanou and a large team check skin for drug resistant germs in nursing homes in 2026. Usual checks swab the nose or gut area and can miss what lives on skin. Swabs came from the groin and armpit of 38 residents in 15 California homes.
Lab culture found resistant germs in about one in four residents. Gene based study found far more, with one resistant gut germ type on 27 residents across nine homes. Some pairs of residents shared two or more matched germ types. Bathing did not clear the germs. Skin checks should join routine safety work in care homes.
