Clearance of Nasal Staphylococcus Aureus Colonization With Triple Antibiotic Ointment

Northwestern University·interventional·Posted Oct 19, 2009·Updated Jan 5, 2015

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Neosporin (polymyxin B 5,000units, bacitracin 400 units, neomycin 3.5mg) for Nasal Carriers of Staphylococcus Aureus. Completed, enrolled 216 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Staphylococcus aureus, a bacteria that lives commonly in the anterior nostrils, is seen in about 30% of healthcare workers. Applying mupirocin ointment, a prescription, to the nostrils twice daily for 5 days is the current standard of care for treatment to clear this bacteria. This research study is designed to determine the rate of clearance of this bacteria in healthcare workers who are carriers when using triple antibiotic ointment instead of mupirocin ointment.
