Decolonization, also bacterial decolonization, is a medical intervention that attempts to rid a patient of an antimicrobial resistant pathogen, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or antifungal-resistant Candida. By pre-emptively treating patients who have become colonized with an antimicrobial resistant organism, the likelihood of the patient going on to develop life-threatening health care-associated infections is reduced. Common sites of bacterial colonization include the nasal passage, groin, oral cavity and skin.

  • La decolonización bacteriana o simplemente decolonización, es una intervención médica que intenta librar a un paciente de un patógeno ​ como Staphylococcus aureus resistente a la meticilina (MRSA) o Candida resistente a los antimicóticos.​ Al tratar de manera preventiva a los pacientes que se han colonizado con un organismo resistente a los antimicrobianos, se reduce la probabilidad de que el paciente desarrolle infecciones asociadas a la atención sanitaria que pongan en peligro su vida. Los sitios comunes de colonización bacteriana incluyen las fosas nasales, la ingle, la cavidad oral y la piel.​ (es)
