MRSA decolonization: success rate, risk factors for failure and optimal duration of follow-up.
PURPOSE Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) decolonization is a widely established, though controversial part of many MRSA controlling strategies. The aim of this study was to evaluate our decolonization success rate, identify the risk factors for decolonization failure and determine the optimal duration of follow-up in our low MRSA prevalence setting (2.6 % of isolates). METHO...
متن کاملUniversal screening and decolonization for control of MRSA in nursing homes: a cluster randomized controlled study.
OBJECTIVE The risk of carrying methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is higher among nursing home (NH) residents than in the general population. However, control strategies are not clearly defined in this setting. In this study, we compared the impact of standard precautions either alone (control) or combined with screening of residents and decolonization of carriers (intervention)...
متن کاملScreening and decolonization of MRSA among joint arthroplasty patients: efficacy, cost-effectiveness and durability
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is the most common organism responsible for orthopaedic surgical site infections (SSIs) after elective joint arthroplasty. Patients who are carriers for methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) have a higher likelihood of having invasive MRSA infections[1]. Some reports have suggested that screening and decolonization of all patients having elective joint arthrop...
متن کاملImplementation of a universal admission surveillance and decolonization program for methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) reduces the number of MRSA and total number of S. aureus isolates reported by the clinical laboratory.
Our three-hospital system began active surveillance for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) nasal colonization, with decolonization of positive patients, on all admissions starting 1 August 2005. A question not previously addressed is whether reduction of the incidence of MRSA disease would lower the total number of S. aureus clinical isolates recovered by the microbiology labora...
متن کاملCost savings of universal decolonization to prevent intensive care unit infection: implications of the REDUCE MRSA trial.
OBJECTIVE To estimate and compare the impact on healthcare costs of 3 alternative strategies for reducing bloodstream infections in the intensive care unit (ICU): methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) nares screening and isolation, targeted decolonization (ie, screening, isolation, and decolonization of MRSA carriers or infections), and universal decolonization (ie, no screening an...
