Summary
Our hypothesis for the DERAIL MRSA program is that one can safely remove the colonization
risk from nearly all residents (patients) in a way that does not interfere with the desired
life-style for persons in these facilities and thereby reduce the risk of infection and lower
the cost of care by avoiding preventable disease.
