Summary
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.
