After the introduction of routine treatment for every nasal carrier of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, active follow-up surveillance for nosocomial methicillin-resistant S. aureus infection was conducted for 5 years in an intensive care unit of a tertiary-care teaching hospital. There was a significant decrease in the incidence of nosocomial methicillin-resistant S. aureus infection during the later years of follow-up. Decolonization of nasal carriers of methicillin-resistant S. aureus is probably associated with such findings.
在对每例耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌鼻腔携带者实施常规治疗后，一家三级教学医院的重症监护病房对医院获得性耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌感染进行了为期5年的主动随访监测。在随访后期，医院获得性耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌感染的发生率显著下降。耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌鼻腔携带者的去定植可能与这些结果有关。
