87 Genetic determinants in MRSA carriage 5 Figure 1. Flow chart. Flow chart of inclusions. MRSA carriage was defined as complicated in 44/56 (79%) patients, of whom 34/44 (77%) received systemic antibiotics as eradication treatment. The other 10/44 (23%) patients with complicated carriage were spontaneously cleared of MRSA before start of the planned eradication treatment. In addition, 8/56 (14%) patients with MRSA infections did not have subsequent MRSA carriage, and 4/56 (7%) patients had uncomplicated carriage. The green numbers represent the successful decolonization group (with or without preceding treatment). The red numbers represent the treatment failure group
