The infection control measures used to prevent the spread of PVL-positive MRSA are the same as for any type of MRSA infection. Standard infection control measures are effective and the most important first line of defence. In healthcare settings, measures include early diagnosis and treatment of cases, barrier nursing, and sometimes investigation of close contacts.
