Molecular typing of 246 Staphylococcus aureus isolates from unselected patients in Thailand showed that 10 (4.1%) were actually Staphylococcus argenteus. Contrary to the suggestion that S. argenteus is less virulent than S. aureus, we demonstrated comparable rates of morbidity, death, and health care-associated infection in patients infected with either of these two species.
对泰国未经挑选的患者中分离出的246株金黄色葡萄球菌进行分子分型后发现,其中10株(4.1%)实际上是银色葡萄球菌。与银色葡萄球菌毒力低于金黄色葡萄球菌的观点相反,我们证明感染这两种细菌的患者在发病率、死亡率和医疗保健相关感染率方面相当。
