Abstract Background Colonization with Staphylococcus aureus is a risk factor for subsequent infection. Decolonization with the topical antibiotic mupirocin is effective and reduces the risk of subsequent S. aureus infection for both methicillin-sensitive and methicillin-resistant (MRSA) strains but may select for mupirocin-resistant isolates.
