Plain-language summary
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a leading cause of healthcare-associated infections worldwide. S. aureus colonizes several body sites, including the nose, throat, and perineum. Colonization by methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) increases the risk of infection by up to 27%, with infecting strains matching colonizing strains in up to 86% of cases. Decolonization, the goal of which is to decrease or eliminate bacterial load on the body, is an integral part of the strategies used to control and prevent the spread of MRSA. This approach involves eradication of MRSA carriage from the nose through the intranasal application of an antimicrobial agent and body washes with an antiseptic soap to eliminate bacteria from other body sites. The most commonly used agents for MRSA decolonization are intranasal mupirocin ointment applied to the anterior nares and chlorhexidine body wash. Postdischarge MRSA decolonization with chlorhexidine and mupirocin led to a 30% lower risk of MRSA infection. However, there are growing concerns about decolonization failures following the emergence of mupirocin and chlorhexidine resistance. Povidone iodine (PVP-I) is an alternative decolonization agent solutions and demonstrated rapid and superior bactericidal activity against MRSA in in vitro and ex vivo studies available reports. Finally, the induction of bacterial resistance or cross-resistance to antiseptics and antibiotics with PVP-I was not observed. The present protocol aims to use a "Decolonization kit" into MRSA patients to evaluate the efficacy of MRSA nasal decolonization with a topical PVP-I gel. This kit will allow a complete transient decolonization with povidone-iodine (PVP-I)-based products: nasal (gel), body (antiseptic soap) and oral (mouthwash).

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
