Comprehensive Strategy to Decolonize Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) in the Outpatient Setting
RandomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelTreatment
Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of topical and oral antibiotics in eliminating carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among those living in the community. We hypothesize that a greater proportion of those who receive intervention will eliminate MRSA carriage compared to those who do not receive any intervention.
