Decolonisation – Is it effective?
• Decolonisation
– Mupirocin effective for MRSA eradication1
– Reduction in S. aureus infection2,3
(RR 0.55, 95% CI 0.43 - 0.70)2
• Source control - Chlorhexidine
– Routine bathing in ICU4,5
• MRSA acquisition decreased by 32%
• HCAI BSI rates decreased by 28%

Results - Resistance to
Mupirocin and Chlorhexidine Conclusions
1. Mupirocin and chlorhexidine resistance
are common in MRSA at HUG (and elsewhere)
2. Resistance correlates with use of these
agents
3. Low-level mupirocin and chlorhexidine
resistance are strongly associated with
failure of decolonization therapy
Conclusions (2)
4. Emergence of resistance and its impact
should be monitored in institutions with
widespread use of these agents
5. Alternative agents may be required to
effectively prevent S. aureus infections in
settings with high prevalence of
resistance
