   What is a decolonization strategy?

   • Decolonization strategies aim to decrease the bacterial burden in order to prevent transmission and infection. Often, these strategies are vertical strategies in which patients are screened for certain pathogens of interest (e.g., MRSA or VRE) and decolonized if they are found to carry those pathogens.

   Why is decolonization important?

   • The strongest evidence for decolonization is for use among surgical patients as a strategy to prevent surgical site infections. Health care-associated infections (HAIs) burden patients, complicate treatments, prolong hospital stays, increase costs, and can be life-threatening. Up to 15% of patients develop an infection while hospitalized.

   Can decolonization prevent health care-associated infections?

   • The majority of these health care-associated infections may be preventable by evidence-based interventions. Based on the evidence described here, decolonization is one such intervention that can reduce rates of health care-associated infections. Decolonization prevents both vertical and horizontal transmission, depending on the method.
