Nasal colonization with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) can be a precursor to serious infection, and decolonization with topical mupirocin has been studied as a means of preventing clinical infection. Mupirocin resistance in patients with MRSA has been reported, usually in the context of widespread mupirocin use.
