Nasal Carriage of Staphylococcus aureus As a Risk Factor for Skin and Soft Tissue Infections.

J. John Weems1, Luna B. Beck.   

Abstract

Nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus is a major risk factor for the development of S. aureus infection, including skin and soft tissue infections and foreign body infections, such as catheter-associated bacteremia and peritonitis. In this article, we review the recent literature on S. aureus nasal carriage, including the emergence of methicillin- resistant S. aureus in the community, the pathophysiology of nasal carriage, and the epidemiology and prevention of S. aureus infections associated with nasal carriage.
