Primary Outcome Measures:
- To determine the effectiveness of the reinforced strategy compared to the standard one, to prevent MRSA transmission among residents of nursing homes [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]general MRSA screening of all nursing homes residents of Canton Vaud at baseline and 1 year later in both group (control and intervention group)
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- To determine the effectiveness of the reinforced strategy to prevent MRSA infection, compared to the standard strategy [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]In a subpopulation of all nursing homes residents (10% of the whole population), recording of all microbiologically documented MRSA infection, according to CDC nosocomial infection definitions
- To determine MRSA prevalence among residents of nursing homes in Canton Vaud, Switzerland [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]General MRSA screening of all nursing homes residents in Canton Vaud, Switzerland

-
Other: intervention
5 days topical decolonisation including nasal mupirocine tid, chlorexidine mouth wash tid, chlorhexidine body wash once daily.

MRSA carriage among nursing homes residents of Canton Vaud, Switzerland, is increasing, despite use of standard precautions. Recommendation to prevent MRSA transmission in long term care facilities are lacking.
We aim to reinforce the current infection control strategy by general MRSA screening of institutionalised residents and decolonisation of MRSA carriers.
Because the uncertainties in the impact of this reinforced strategy, we aim to compare this action to the policy actually applied.
