Aureden et al. (2015) conducted a review in Health care-associated infections (HAIs) and surgical site infections (SSIs). Skin and nasal decolonization was evaluated on Surgical site infections (SSIs). Skin and nasal decolonization before surgery may reduce the risk of surgical site infections in patients colonized with Staphylococcus aureus undergoing cardiac, orthopedic, and neurosurgery procedures.
