A tailored infection prevention intervention in six nursing homes was successful in cutting the number of multidrug-resistant organisms in residentsâ rooms and the related risk of transmission.
Investigators conducted a clinical trial including 245 residents, 94% of whom were admitted for an anticipated short stay, and nearly all of whom were receiving post-acute care. Specimens were collected from residents’ rooms.
