For years, mupirocin (MO) has been the gold standard for nasal decolonization to combat SSIs and control transmission of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). However, widespread adoption of MO has led to mupirocin-resistant strains of S. aureus and treatment failures, prompting a shift to antiseptics such as povidone-iodine for HAI prevention and antibiotic stewardship efforts. The efficacy, safety, patient satisfaction and cost data on povidone-iodine is compelling and is a promising alternative to mupirocin.
