Background Persistent carriers have a higher risk of Staphylococcus aureus infections than
noncarriers but a lower risk of bacteremia-related death. Here, the role played by anti …

Background. Persistent nasal carriers have an increased risk of Staphylococcus aureus
infection, whereas intermittent carriers and noncarriers share the same low risk. This study …

Background. To study determinants and risks of Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage,
adequate differentiation between the different S. aureus carrier states is obligatory. We set …

Persistent nasal carriers and noncarriers of Staphylococcus aureus were inoculated with a
mixture of different S. aureus strains. The majority of noncarriers and nearly all persistent …

More than 20% of adults are persistently colonized with Staphylococcus aureus. When
hospitalized, these carriers have increased risks of infection with their own strains. However …

The management of staphylococcal diseases is increasingly difficult with present medical
approaches. Preventive and therapeutic vaccination is considered to be a promising …

Forty-four asymptomatic male subjects were examined for their nasal carriage of strains of
Staphylococcus aureus capable of producing staphylococcal toxic shock antigen (TSA), an …

Persistent Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriers are at high risk of S. aureus infection. The
present study delineates a simple strategy aimed at identifying rapidly and accurately this …

Nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus is an important source of nosocomial infection and
community‐acquired methicillin‐resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Previous studies by our …

Background. Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage is influenced by multifactorial
interactions which are difficult to study in open populations. Therefore, we concomitantly …
