متن کاملCurrent practice in Staphylococcus aureus screening and decolonization.
We surveyed infectious disease physicians to determine their preoperative Staphylococcus aureus screening and decolonization practices. Sixty percent reported preoperative screening for S. aureus. However, specific screening and decolonization practices are highly variable, are focused almost exclusively on methicillin-resistant S. aureus, and do not include testing for mupirocin or chlorhexidi...
متن کاملPredictors of Staphylococcus aureus Colonization and Results after Decolonization
Protocols for the screening and decolonization of Staphylococcus aureus prior to total joint arthroplasty (TJA) have become widely adopted. The goals of this study were to determine: (1) whether implementation of a screening protocol followed by decolonization with mupirocin/vancomycin and chlorhexidine reduces the risk of revision compared with no screening protocol (i.e., chlorhexidine alone)...
متن کاملScreening and decolonization: does methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus hold lessons for methicillin-resistant S. aureus?
Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) have few structural differences, but their epidemiologies differ profoundly in terms of colonization, infection, and transmission. We compare strategies for controlling hospital infection due to MSSA and MRSA. Despite the straightforward epidemiology of MSSA, the effectiveness of screening and decolo...
