Dear Ozbug,Irrespective of what the literature shows, can I ask the following as a quick straw poll:
In your current favourite staph decolonisation protocol how many days do you usually recommend? If you have time to give a quick reason that would be great too (eg based on cast-iron evidence; based on previous failures; patient acceptance, a whim; etc).
Nasal mupirocin: 5, 7, 10, other?
Daily washes: 5, 7, 10, 14 , other?
Many thanks
Meryta
