Nasal decolonization of Staphylococcus aureus in orthopedic surgeons using mupirocin and chlorhexidineAna **riela Castro-Martínez 1, Elvira Garza-González 1, Víctor Peña-Martínez 1, Juan Sebastian Gonzalez-Bracamonte 1, Adrián Camacho-Ortiz 2Affiliations expandPMID: 31818510 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajic.2019.11.003AbstractNasal mucosa colonization by Staphylococcus aureus is a risk factor for hospital-acquired infections. This study examined the effectiveness of a decolonization strategy on orthopedic surgeons in a teaching hospital. S aureus colonization was detected in 43.2% of the surgeons, 25% of which were methicillin-resistant S aureus strains. Eradication was documented in 61.53% of the subjects who completed the decolonization strategy. Among orthopedic surgeons, mupirocin with or without chlorhexidine decolonization strategies was effective in eradicating S aureus colonization.
recent paper 2020 so more up to date. it all depends on what your id guys are reporting the resistance rates (HL and LL) are in the hospital in which you work. but I agree with the other posters here the numbers in terms of percentages need explanation
