Nasopharyngeal Decolonization of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Can Reduce PEG Peristomal Wound Infection

Abstract

Nasopharyngeal decolonization of MRSA can reduce peristomal infection shortly after the pull-through PEG insertion. MRSA appears to be a major pathogen in PEG peristomal infection while prophylactic and concomitant antibiotics are being used.
