Combined Topical and Oral Antimicrobial Therapy for the Eradication of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (Mrsa) Colonization in Hospitalized Patients

Combined Topical and Oral Antimicrobial Therapy for the Eradication of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (Mrsa) Colonization in Hospitalized Patients

OBJECTIVE: How to eradicate methicillin-resistant Staphylo-coccus aureus (MRSA) colonization in hospitalized patients is uncertain. We reviewed our experience with MRSA decolonization therapy in hospitalized patients.
