Sensitive detection of Staphylococcus aureus colonization is important for epidemiologic studies, infection control, and decolonization measures. We examined the sensitivity of nasal and pharyngeal sampling for S. aureus colonization in 331 children admitted to intensive care units. Pharyngeal screening was more sensitive than nasal screening (92.6% versus 63.1%, P < 0.0001).
金黄色葡萄球菌定植的敏感检测对流行病学研究、感染控制和去定植措施非常重要。我们检测了 331 例入住重症监护病房患儿的鼻腔和咽拭子金黄色葡萄球菌定植情况,结果显示咽拭子筛查比鼻拭子筛查更敏感(92.6% 比 63.1%,P < 0.0001)。
