S. aureus is the most common cause of hospital-acquired infections in the United States, and the proportion caused by MRSA is rising sharply.
“S. aureus is the most frequent cause of nosocomial infections in the United States, with the percentage of infections caused by methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) growing precipitously [3].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
