Study Summary

Staphylococcus aureus (SA) healthcare-associated infections (HAI) cause significant morbidity and mortality. SA causes 15% of all HAI and 30% of surgical site infections (SSIs). Each year over 40 million Americans undergo operations, 1-10% of whom will acquire SSIs. Such infections double the length of hospitalization and risk of dying, and increase U.S. health care costs by $5-10 billion/year. We need effective interventions to prevent SSIs caused by either methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) or methicillin-resistant (MRSA) strains. Nasal carriers of SA (25-30% of adults) have a 2-14 times greater risk than non-carriers of acquiring an SA SSI. A potential prevention approach is routine pre-operative screening of patients, followed by decolonization of identified SA carriers.

Primary Outcome

Participants with no SA post-treatment, proportion (%) of participants in each study arm that had no SA detected on the post-treatment cultures from the 4 body sites sampled with swab cultures.
