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 perit...
