It would and does. Many hospitals have trained their cleaning staffs to be especially cognizant of MSRA and to try to disinfect everything they can think of. But one of the easiest ways to keep from spreading MSRA is for the nurses and doctors to simply wash their hands as soon as they enter the patient’s rooms and before they touch anything.

When I was in the hospital here in San Diego (Mercy) for surgery and a stay for more than 4 days, every single person that came into my room (private room) washed their hands for the required amount of time with soap before they even came over to my bed. I was impressed!
