ABSTRACT
In a retrospective cohort of 6363 neonates admitted to three NICUs, there was no reduction in Staphylococcus aureus acquisition when comparing pre- and post-pandemic incidence rates. While additional infection prevention practices introduced during the pandemic helped prevent SARS-CoV-2 transmission, these practices may not have reduced S. aureus transmission to infants.
