Abstract

This study investigates Veterans Affairs Bug Alert (VABA) usage on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and carbapenemase-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CP-CRE) infection rates in VA facilities. Significant association between increased VABA use and decreased MRSA and CP-CRE infection rates supports VABA as part of infection control strategies.
