This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This study will determine if rates of colonization and infection with two resistant gram positive bacteria - methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) causing healthcare-associated infections among patients in the Intensive Care Units are lower in ICUs that use an intensive infection control strategy plus standard care compared to ICUs that use standard care alone.
