Nasal Iodophor vs Nasal Mupirocin With Chlorhexidine Baths to Prevent Infections in Adult ICUs
Nasal mupirocin plus chlorhexidine baths in ICUs prevents methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections but raises concern about antibiotic resistance. JAMA Senior Editor Kristin Walter, MD, speaks with Susan Huang, MD, of University of California, Irvine, about a study comparing iodophor vs mupirocin with chlorhexidine bathing for ICU-attributable S aureus clinical cultures.

"Mudicinal Properties" -- The Discovery Files
Arizona State University and Mayo Clinic researchers have found that one type of clay, Oregon blue clay, may help fight disease-causing bacteria in wounds, including treatment-resistant bacteria. In laboratory tests, the researchers found that the clay has antibacterial effects against bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, including strains such as carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Infections: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)
Dr. Sandra Fowler, a pediatric infectious diseases specialist, discusses the Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection, describing the mechanism by which the community-acquired strain may have flourished in recent years. She explains symptomology and treatment of this strain, noting the low fatality rate as compared to the hospital-associated strain of MRSA. Dr. Fowler also offers precautionary measures against development of MRSA, pointing to the importance of good hand hygiene. (Source: MUSC Dermatology Podcast)

Who, when and how: Screening for MRSA
Meticillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) remains one of the foremost hospital acquired pathogens.
Patients colonised or infected with MRSA provide a reservoir within hospitals, although infection prevention and control measures minimise the risk of transmission.
Although there is broad agreement on the control measures required for patients colonised or infected with MRSA, there is considerable controversy over who, when and how to screen for the bacteria.
John Coia, a consultant microbiologist at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, discusses when screening may be appropriate, how it should be carried out, and the best st...

Will You Be My Panton-Valentine Leukocidin Exotoxin?
In this episode, Dr. John Bartlett recaps the rise and fall of the Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) exotoxin as a suspect in high mortality and devastating infections related to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The story starts in France and goes global, with a stop in the locker room of the St. Louis Rams football team! Find out why PVL is still important today. (Source: Medicine - Stories in Medicine)
