Military trainees are at high risk for skin and soft-tissue infections (SSTIs), especially those caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). A multicomponent hygiene-based SSTI prevention strategy was implemented at a military training center. After implementation, we observed 30% and 64% reductions in overall and MRSA-associated SSTI rates, respectively.

Outbreak of clonal complex 22 Panton–Valentine leucocidin-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus by Garvey MI, Bradley CW, Holden KJ and Oppenheim B; Journal of Infection Prevention First Published March 14 2017, DOI: 10.1177/1757177417695647 In the above paper several instances of EMRSA-15 were incorrect, and should have read Sequence Type 22 PVL MRSA. ST 22 PVL MRSA has an SCCmecIV distinct to EMRSA-15. Subsequent versions of the article will be corrected.
