Hidden Staphylococcus aureus Carriage: Overrated or Underappreciated?

mBio - 16 Feb 2016

van Belkum Alex

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus aureus is a persistent companion bacterial species in one-third of humankind. Reservoirs include the nasal and nasopharyngeal cavities, skin, and gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Despite earlier claims that colonization of individuals is caused by clonal organisms, next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revealed that resident type heterogeneity is not exceptional. Carriage, whether overt or hidden, is...
