Participant Flow

From 2015-2021, pediatric patients with culture-confirmed, community-onset S. aureus SSTIs ("index patients") were recruited from St. Louis Children's Hospital (SLCH) and community pediatric practices in metropolitan St. Louis. Children with nosocomial infections, healthcare-related risk factors, or immunodeficiency were excluded. Household contacts (individuals sleeping in the home ≥4 nights per week) were also enrolled. All study visits were conducted in participants' homes.

After the enrollment visit, all study participants (index patients and household contacts) were asked to perform a 5-day baseline decolonization regimen consisting of twice-daily application of 2% mupirocin ointment (Perrigo, Allegan, MI) to the anterior nares, and daily body washes with 4% chlorhexidine gluconate (Hibiclens, Mölnlycke Health Care, Norcross, GA).5,12,13,21,22 Participants \<2 months of age were excluded from performing the decolonization regimen.
