We performed a surveillance program of a large peritoneal dialysis (PD) unit.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We performed 1,175 surveillance swabs from anterior nares, PD catheter exit site, groin, and axilla, from 240 patients.

Despite adopting a universal policy of applying mupirocin to PD catheter exit sites in 2001, no instances of mupirocin-resistant S. aureus were identified. Moreover, patients who grew S. aureus from surveillance swabs did not experience higher peritonitis rates than those with \u201cno growth.\u201d This was in contrast to patients who grew Pseudomonas or enteric organisms. There were no differences in patient demographics for those who grew S. aureus, Pseudomonas, or enteric organisms (compared with \u201cno-growth\u201d patients).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our results suggest that the application of mupirocin ointment appeared to minimize peritonitis of patients colonized with S. aureus. The use of mupirocin in this patient cohort has not led to mupirocin resistance. The increased peritonitis rate of patients who grew Pseudomonas or enteric organisms is of interest. We propose that greater attention to hygiene and catheter care in these patients is warranted. The increasing use of paid healthcare workers attending patients daily to help perform PD (assisted PD) gives an opportunity for us to address these wider issues.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3747\/pdi.2018.00082","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,10]],"date-time":"2019-02-10T00:35:12Z","timestamp":1549758912000},"page":"126-133","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Clinical Value of Screening Peritoneal Dialysis Patients for Bacterial Colonization or Contamination"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Rajeevalochana","family":"Parthasarathy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Renal Medicine and Transplantation Barts Health NHS Trust, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tasnuva","family":"Kashem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Renal Medicine and Transplantation Barts Health NHS Trust, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caoimhe","family":"NicFhogartaigh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Microbiology, Barts Health NHS Trust, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Melzer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Microbiology, Barts Health NHS Trust, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stanley L.","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Renal Medicine and Transplantation Barts Health NHS Trust, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-pdi.2018.00082","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3747\/pdi.2011.00057"},{"key":"bibr2-pdi.2018.00082","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/379715"},{"issue":"9","key":"bibr3-pdi.2018.00082","first-page":"ix8","volume":"20","author":"Dombros N.","year":"2005","journal-title":"Nephrol Dial Transplant."},{"key":"bibr4-pdi.2018.00082","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3747\/pdi.2016.00078"},{"key":"bibr5-pdi.2018.00082","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3747\/pdi.2016.00120"},{"key":"bibr6-pdi.2018.00082","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12882-017-0687-2"},{"key":"bibr7-pdi.2018.00082","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/089686080102100604"},{"key":"bibr8-pdi.2018.00082","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ndt\/gfh494"},{"key":"bibr9-pdi.2018.00082","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/ajkd.2002.30553"},{"key":"bibr10-pdi.2018.00082","unstructured":"Group BVASI.
