Personally I'd be afraid of becoming immune to the Bactroban by using it
when you didn't have an active infection. I've had good results using
intransal Bactroban, but I'd never use it prophylactically. The new Teva
generic mixes up easily also. AW

There have been studies on staph in the nose, and it rapidly becomes
resistant to bactroban. However, I use it on a q-tip when I have low
grade symptoms, and it has worked wonderfully.
