The present invention provides methods and compositions useful for reducing or preventing the transmission of nosocomial pathogens or an epidemic of nosocomial pathogens in a health care facility by decolonizing the gastro-intestinal tract, skin, or nasal passage of carriers and by preventing colonization of individuals at risk who may serve as transmission vehicles or vectors to other individuals.
