Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of topical and oral antibiotics in eliminating carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among those living in the community. We hypothesize that a greater proportion of those who receive intervention will eliminate MRSA carriage compared to those who do not receive any intervention.
