Summary
This randomized controlled trial will compare strategies to reduce the risk of
methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection and re-hospitalization in MRSA
carriers. This trial will provide critical answers about the role of decolonization versus
standard-of-care education in preventing MRSA infections in the large group of high risk
MRSA-positive patients being discharged from hospitals. Findings could potentially impact
best practice for the 1.8 million MRSA carriers who are discharged from US hospitals each
year.
