Document: Hand hygiene and isolation remain key components of the infection control 'toolkit' to reduce cross-transmission of key viral and multiresistant bacterial pathogens. Future research should focus on the optimal methods for implementation and monitoring of these strategies as well as ways to mitigate any potential negative effects. In this prospective, multicentre, interventional cohort study, investigators evaluated the efficacy of enhanced hand hygiene vs screening, contact precautions and decolonization vs. both interventions in their ability to reduce MRSA rates. Baseline MRSA rates were low in the study population, and only the combination of the two interventions resulted in a reduction in MRSA rates.
