Nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus is commonly evaluated via culture-based methods. We found that parallel use of two media, Baird-Parker and CHROMagar™ Staph aureus, increased detection of S. aureus from a healthy population by 29 %. We suggest use of both media for optimal identification of S. aureus from healthy cohorts.
金黄色葡萄球菌的鼻腔携带通常通过基于培养的方法进行评估。我们发现,同时使用两种培养基,Baird-Parker 和 CHROMagar™金黄色葡萄球菌,可将健康人群中金黄色葡萄球菌的检出率提高 29%。我们建议同时使用这两种培养基,以从健康人群中最佳地鉴定金黄色葡萄球菌。
