  • Staphylococcus aureus is commonly found in the nares and on the skin of healthy people
  • Asymptomatic colonization is associated with a higher rate of invasive infection

Project CLEAR

  • Probably has the best evidence, with an RCT1
  • Decolonization happens for 5 days, twice monthly, for 6 months
    • 4% rinse-off chlorhexidine for daily bathing or showering
    • 0.12% chlorhexidine mouthwash twice daily
    • 2% nasal mupirocin twice daily
  • NNT of about 30 to prevent one infection or one hospitalization

Dutch Method

  • Also has some evidence, with an observational study2
  • Separates patients into uncomplicated (essentially entirely asymptomatic carriage in a low-risk patient) and complicated
  • In the above report, the only reported outcome was decolonization
    • 63% after 1 cycle, and 80% after up to 5 cycles of treatment
    • 97% remained decolonized at 3 month follow-up

Uncomplicated carriage

  • Topical treatment (5 days)
    • Mupirocin 2% to nares q8h
    • Chlorhexidine or povidone iodide soap applied once daily
  • Hygienic measures
    • Clean underwear, clothing, washcloths and towels daily
    • Change bedsheets every other day during treatment

Complicated carriage
