of Multidrug-Resistant Organisms in Long-Term Medical Care
Facilities.
(3-24-08) Antimicrobial resistant microorganisms continue to be
a problem in long-term care facilities, and are of increasing

well. Los Angeles County guidelines for the control and

term care facilities and community settings were developed
in order to respond to questions and concerns raised by
infection control practitioners, healthcare workers and other
caregivers.
