This can work for patients who are not healthcare workers, but it is much more difficult for healthcare workers who have chronic exposure. We have never attempted this at the various institutions where I have worked. Unless you have a surgeon with high risk and value to the organization, I would agree with what Melanie shared.

Marianne,
I cannot speak to a specific institutional protocol but in my private practice, I have been successful in decolonizing patients using a one week course of the combination of the daily application of pHisoderm (hexachlorophene) body wash from the neck down just before showering and the daily swabbing of both nares with Bactrobam (mupirocin) ointment.

Hello! Does anyone have an MRSA decolonization protocol (for healthcare workers, not patients) you’d be willing to share?
Thank you!
