Abstract excerpt
A randomly selected, healthy Norwegian community population was studied for nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) to describe frequency and molecular diversity in a non-hospital cohort (n = 95). Multilocus sequence typing revealed 31 sequence types (STs) belonging to 15 clonal complexes (CCs). The majority of isolates (71%) were classified as CC 15, 30 or 45.
