Journal ArticleDOI

Universal screening for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus at hospital admission and nosocomial infection in surgical patients.

TL;DR: A universal, rapid MRSA admission screening strategy did not reduce nosocomial MRSA infection in a surgical department with endemic MRSA prevalence but relatively low rates of MRSA infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of rapid screening and pre-emptive contact isolation for detecting and controlling methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in critical care: an interventional cohort study.

TL;DR: The qMRSA test decreased median time to notification from four days to one day and helped to identify previously unknown MRSA carriers rapidly and substantially reduced MRSA cross-infections in the medical but not in the surgical ICU.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of Combined Low-Level Mupirocin and Genotypic Chlorhexidine Resistance on Persistent Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Carriage After Decolonization Therapy: A Case-control Study

TL;DR: Combined low-level mupirocin and genotypic chlorhexidine resistance significantly increases the risk of persistent MRSA carriage after decolonization therapy and institutions with widespread use of these agents should monitor for resistance and loss of clinical effectiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contamination of Stethoscopes and Physicians' Hands After a Physical Examination

TL;DR: The results suggest that the contamination level of the stethoscope is substantial after a single physical examination and comparable to the contamination of parts of the physician's dominant hand.
