Strains ofStaphylococcus aureusObtained from Drug‐Use Networks Are Closely Linked

Drug users have a higher incidence of colonization with Staphylococcus aureus than does the general population, and, as a result, they are at increased risk of infection with their colonizing strain. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of drug-use risk networks in S. aureus transmission, the similarity of S. aureus isolates within these networks, and the possible role of inhalation drug use...
