Twenty-two patients out of the 43 (51%) were treated with different regimens: nasal Bactroban in 13\/22 (59%); a combination of nasal Bactroban, oral vancomycin, and rifam- picin for 2 weeks in 5 patients (23%); Bactroban and linezolid in one patient (5%); and oral vancomycin and rifampicin in 3 patients (14%). Eight out of the 22 treated patients (36%) achieved MRSA eradication. Six out of the 22 treated (27%) had experienced MRSA recurrence within 3\u20136 months, and another 5\/22 (23%) continued to have MRSA colonization up to 2\u20134 years of follow-up despite using a proper eradication protocol. Twelve out of the 43 (28%) patients with MRSA infection died.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>MRSA infection in our population with CF is common.
