The population structure of Staphylococcus aureus among general practice patients from The Netherlands
To investigate the prevalence, the antibiotic resistance pattern and the population structure of Staphylococcus aureus, S. aureus isolates from the anterior nostrils of patients of general practitioners (GPs) were analysed. Insight into the S. aureus population structure is essential, as nasal carriers of S. aureus are at increased risk of developing an S. aureus infection. S. aureus was isolated from nasal swabs from 2691 patients with no sign of an infection collected in 29 GP practices in The Netherlands. The susceptibility pattern for several classes of antibiotics was determined, as well... Mehr ...
