Abstract

Abstract Two consecutive outbreaks of group A Streptococcus (GAS) infections occurred from 2015–2016 among residents of a Chicago skilled nursing facility. Evaluation of wound care practices proved crucial for identifying transmission factors and implementing prevention measures. We demonstrated shedding of GAS on settle plates during care of a colonized wound.
