Integrating Personal and Household Environmental Hygiene Measures to Prevent Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Chlorhexidine, Mupirocin, and 1 other intervention for Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Bacterial Infections and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 835 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed 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).
