Summary
The investigators propose a pragmatic comparative effectiveness trial evaluating several
decolonization strategies in patients with Staphylococcus aureus infection, their household
contacts, and household environmental surfaces. The central hypothesis of this proposal is
that an integrated approach of periodic personal and household environmental hygiene will
reduce S. aureus transmission in households and subsequently decrease the incidence of skin
and soft tissue infections (SSTI).
