Methicillin‐resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> infection of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy sites

Abstract

Naso-pharyngeal methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus colonization invariably predicts peristomal methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus colonization following percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy insertion, and is associated with an increased peristomal infection rate. Currently recommended antibiotic prophylaxis regimens may be inappropriate in institutions with significant methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus colonization rates.
