Staphylococcus aureus can be spread from person-to-person and infections often occur in multiple members of the same household. S. aureus can also exist on household surfaces for prolonged periods of time. The SHINE study is a comparative effectiveness trial to evaluate several decolonization strategies in patients with MRSA infection, their household contacts, and household environmental surfaces to interrupt transmission of S. aureus among household members and prevent S. aureus infections.
