Success rates of decolonisation treatment and risk factors for chronic carriage in methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> throat carriers: a retrospective population-based cohort study
In this Danish cohort of MRSA throat carriers, the overall success rate of decolonisation treatment was 44% and for systemic clindamycin 52%. A higher number of household MRSA carriers and a previous clinical MRSA infection were associated with a lower chance of becoming MRSA free.
