Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus mupirocin resistance rates in a large healthcare system

Antimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology, 2023
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a common etiology of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). One strategy to reduce HAIs due to MRSA involves a multistep decolonization process.

Survival of Staphylococcus aureus ST398 in the human nose after artificial inoculation. [PDF]

, 2012
There is evidence that MRSA ST398 of animal origin is only capable of temporarily occupying the human nose, and it is therefore, often considered a poor human colonizer.We inoculated 16 healthy human volunteers with a mixture of the human MSSA strain ...
