Prospective Nasal Screening for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Critically Ill Patients With Suspected Pneumonia

We carried out a prospective de-escalation study based on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) nasal cultures in intensive care unit patients with suspected pneumonia. Days of anti-MRSA therapy was significantly reduced in the intervention group (2 [0–3] days vs 1 [0–2] day; P < .01...
