Brief summary
This trial focusses on identifying the most effective and safe long-term S. aureus carriage decolonization strategy in home parenteral nutrition patients. Half of the participants will receive a quick and short systemic antibiotic treatment combined with topical treatment, while the other half will receive only topical treatment on a periodic basis.
Detailed description
Patients on home parenteral nutrition (HPN) are exposed to a lifelong risk of developing S. aureus bacteremia (SAB). SAB pose a threat to both catheter and patient survival and may lead to a permanent loss of vascular access. S. aureus carriage eradication has proven successful in prevention of S. aureus infections. S. aureus decolonization is a key strategy to maintain venous access and avoid hospitalization.
