Opportunities and Obstacles in the Prevention of Skin and Soft-Tissue Infections Among Military Personnel.

CONCLUSIONS: In the military, a disproportionate burden of SSTIs is borne by the recruit population. Strategies relying upon routine application of agents for S. aureus decolonization have not been effective in preventing SSTIs. A novel S. aureus vaccine candidate is being currently evaluated in a military training population and may represent a new opportunity to prevent SSTIs for the military.
