The use of nasal mupirocin ointment to prevent Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemias in haemodialysis patients: an analysis of cost- effectiveness [PDF]

, 1991
Nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus is a risk factor for the development of infections caused by S. aureus in haemodialysis patients. This study compared the incidence of bacteraemia caused by S.

Reduction in the colonization of central venous cannulae by mupirocin [PDF]

, 1991
In an in-vitro simulation of an intravascular cannula enclosed in a fibrin sheath, 0.03 mg1(-1) of mupirocin prevented significant colonization [greater than 15 colony forming units (cfu)] by two clinical isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis and one ...

Transfer of antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]

, 2017
Staphylococcus aureus is a serious human pathogen with remarkable adaptive powers. Antibiotic-resistant clones rapidly emerge mainly by acquisition of antibiotic-resistance genes from other S. aureus strains or even from other genera.

Mupirocin prophylaxis against nosocomial Staphylococcus aureus infections in nonsurgical patients: a randomized study [PDF]

, 2004
BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage is a major risk factor for nosocomial S. aureus infection. Studies show that intranasal mupirocin can prevent nosocomial surgical site infections. No data are available on the efficacy of

Mupirocin Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus Isolates among Patients in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Central Kerala: A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]

National Journal of Laboratory Medicine
Introduction: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of hospital-acquired infections, with mupirocin being a key agent for decolonisation. However, increasing resistance to mupirocin threatens its effectiveness. Understanding
