The anterior nares are the most important screening site of colonization with Staphylococcus aureus. We screened 2966 individuals for S. aureus carriage with swabs of both nares and throat. A total of 37.1% of persons were nasal carriers, and 12.8% were solely throat carriers. Screening of throat swabs significantly increases the sensitivity of detection among carriers by 25.7%.
前鼻孔是金黄色葡萄球菌定植最重要的筛查部位。我们用拭子对2966名个体的双侧鼻孔和咽喉进行了金黄色葡萄球菌携带情况筛查。共有37.1%的人是鼻腔携带者，12.8%的人仅是咽喉携带者。对咽喉拭子进行筛查显著提高了携带者中检测的敏感性，增幅为25.7%。
