What determines nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus?

Trends in microbiology - 1 Dec 2001

Peacock S J, de Silva I, Lowy F D

Abstract excerpt

Nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus is an important risk factor for infection by this organism in both community and hospital settings; this article reviews the role of host and bacterial factors in carriage. A host genetic influence appears likely but the phenotypic determinants are unknown. Possibilities include variability in host adhesins, immune response or secretion of antimicrobial molecules....
