Coagulase-positive Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from over 6% of 320 rural drinking water specimens. Well water was the most common source examined. The presence of S. aureus was not found to correlate with the presence of coliform bacteria. Strains of Staphylococcus that produced enterotoxin A were found in 40% of the samples containing S. aureus. Additional studies showed that faucet aerator screens were common sources of high cell densities of S. aureus.
在320份农村饮用水样本中，超过6%检测出凝固酶阳性的金黄色葡萄球菌。井水是检测的最常见水源。未发现金黄色葡萄球菌的存在与大肠菌群的存在相关。在40%含有金黄色葡萄球菌的样本中发现了产生A 型肠毒素的葡萄球菌菌株。进一步研究表明，水龙头曝气器滤网是金黄色葡萄球菌高细胞密度的常见来源。
