Using a segmented Poisson regression model changes in hospital wide monthly MRSA acquisition rates (a) and MRSA bacteraemia rates (b) per 100,000 bed days between April 2013-December 2017. Key: A two wipe regime for nurse led cleans was undertaken at QEHB between April 2013 to April 2016; a one wipe regime for nurse led cleans was undertaken at QEHB between May 2016 to December 2017; the removal of universal MRSA decolonization therapy in the ICU at QEHB occurred during August 2014-December 2016; the reintroduction of universal MRSA decolonization therapy in the ICU at QEHB occurred between January-December 2017. The dotted lines represent the infection prevention and control interventions. The blue lines represent the mean values predicted by the Poisson regression model
