Treatment of Patients Colonized With Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Prior to Bone and Joint Surgery — TOPS-MRSA  

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Clinical Trial

Official title:
Treatment of Patients Colonized With Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Prior to Bone and Joint Surgery (TOPS-MRSA)

Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators anticipate that utilization of retapamulin preoperatively will eliminate MRSA colonization among patients who are colonized in their nares.

Clinical Trial Description

Enhanced characterization of MRSA strains carried by patients and their eradication prior to surgery will significantly reduce healthcare costs to the VA by reducing the number of MRSA positive patients who need to be isolated and or closely monitored, and allow healthcare providers to better predict the patient's requirements. In addition, the application of molecular methods will facilitate faster tracking of MRSA postoperative infections. ;
