Comparative phenotypic characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus isolates from line and non-line associated septicaemia, CAPD peritonitis, bone/joint infections and healthy nasal carriers.

Abstract excerpt

This study compared specific phenotypic and potential virulence characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus isolates from invasive infections and nasal carriers. Three hundred and sixty isolates were studied; 154 from septicaemia (69 line associated, 85 non-line), 79 from continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) peritonitis, 64 from bone/joint infections and 64 from healthy nasal carriers. The isolates were...
