An evaluation of risk factors for Staphylococcus aureus colonization in a pre-surgical population

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus (SA) colonization has significant implications in healthcare-associated infections. Here we describe a prospective study conducted in pre-surgical outpatients, done with the aim of identifying demographic and clinical risk factors for SA colonization. We found younger age to be a potential predictor of SA colonization.
