Measure
Mupirocin/Hexachlorophene Group
Participants with MRSA colonization who were randomized to receive: Mupirocin (Bactroban) 2%; hexachlorophene (pHisoHex) 3%: BACTROBAN NASAL is a white to off-white ointment that contains 2.15% w/w mupirocin calcium (equivalent to 2.0% pure mupirocin free acid) in a soft white ointment base. The inactive ingredients are paraffin and a mixture of glycerin esters (SOFTISAN 649). pHisoHex, brand of hexachlorophene detergent cleanser, is an antibacterial sudsing emulsion for topical administration. Some randomized patients will receive mupirocin (Bactroban) nasal ointment plus hexachlorophene (pHisoHex) body washes for seven days.
Placebo Group
Participants with MRSA colonization who were randomized to receive: Placebo: Some randomized patients will receive a placebo nasal ointment (white petroleum) and a placebo body soap with no antimicrobial activity for seven days.
No MRSA Colonization
Patients who did not have any MRSA colonization.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Every 6 months

Population: Due to small numbers, the colonization in the sites other than nares, the counts were not further identified between the treatment group and the placebo group.
