11 Σεπ 2007 · In this prospective study, we found that two-thirds of hospitalized patients harboring S. aureus had intestinal colonization with these organisms. Of the 26 study patients with S. aureus in stool, 20 (77%) had persistent stool carriage and 23 (88%) had concurrent nares carriage.
Human bloodstream infections are often caused by S. aureus. It has been demonstrated that the strains responsible for these types of infection have different virulence genes which influence the bacterial pathogenicity and can be horizontally transferred among bacterial strains [2].
20 Μαρ 2018 · The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of S. aureus and MRSA in human stool samples at a large university hospital, to characterize the identified isolates by molecular methods, and to assess potential risk factors for intestinal carriage.
Clinical Manifestations. Staphylococci can cause many forms of infection. (1) S aureus causes superficial skin lesions (boils, styes) and localized abscesses in other sites. (2) S aureus causes deep-seated infections, such as osteomyelitis and endocarditis and more serious skin infections (furunculosis).
