Mupirocin nasal ointment may be prescribed for decolonization prior to surgical procedures, especially for carriers of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The approved regimen for decolonization of S. aureus from the anterior nares is

Objective.Interventions for reducing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) healthcare-associated disease require outcome assessment; this is typically done by manual chart review to determine infection, which can be labor intensive. The

We evaluated the use of the BD GeneOhm MRSA real-time PCR assay (BD Diagnostics, San Diego, CA) for the detection of nasal colonization with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The initial evaluation consisted of 403 paired nasal swab
