Swabs were taken from the main bronchi of hospital patients at routine autopsy, and cultures examined for the presence of coagulase-positive staphylococci. The proportion of patients yielding positive cultures increased steadily with the length of stay in hospital. There was no correlation between positive cultures and age or sex. The results of this study suggest that bronchi of long-stay patients may form a significant source of dissemination of staphylococci producing "hospital" infections.
在常规尸检时,从医院患者的主支气管采集拭子,并对培养物进行检查,以确定是否存在凝固酶阳性葡萄球菌。培养结果呈阳性的患者比例随着住院时间的延长而稳步增加。培养结果呈阳性与年龄或性别之间没有相关性。这项研究的结果表明,长期住院患者的支气管可能是产生“医院”感染的葡萄球菌传播的重要来源。
