(Resident #1). Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to place Resident #1 in contact isolation following a wound culture ( a test to determine if microorganisms that cause infections are in the wound) indicating the resident had staphylococcus aureus (a bacteria that causes infections) in her wound.
