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!
