Abstract

Carrier State/microbiology Nasal Cavity/microbiology Staphylococcal Infections/genetics Staphylococcus aureus/isolation & purification
Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage is influenced by multifactorial interactions which are difficult to study in open populations. Therefore, we concomitantly assessed the epidemiological, microbiological, and human-genetic carriage-related factors in a nearly closed population.
