Article Synopsis
- Outbreaks of PVL-producing MRSA skin infections among Royal Marines at their training center have been a persistent issue, linked to intense training and skin injuries.
- The study aimed to address these infections by using extra swabs on cuts and enhancing a 10-day decolonization program, leading to better identification and management of MRSA carriers.
- During the outbreak, 18 out of 36 recruits developed infections, but strengthened infection control measures effectively contained the outbreak to one troop, reducing further spread.

Currently, little is known about the length of time required to rehabilitate patients from stress fractures and their return to preinjury level of physical activity. Previous studies have looked at the return to sport in athletes, in a general population, where rehabilitation is not as controlled as within a captive military population. In this study, a longitudinal prospective epidemiological database was assessed to determine the incidence of stress fractures and the time taken to rehabilitate recruits to preinjury stage of training.
