Natural History Model
*Acquisition of MRSA colonization and subsequent infection can be interrupted at the transition indicated by A (by contact precautions preventing transmission of MRSA, and/or by decolonization decreasing colonization pressure). MRSA infections can also be interrupted at the transitions indicated by B (by decolonization with mupirocin and/or CHG preventing infections that would have resulted from colonization in already colonized patients.)
