Risk and outcome of nosocomial Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia in nasal carriers versus non-carriers.
Staphylococcus aureus is the second most frequent cause of nosocomial blood infections. We screened 14008 non-bacteraemic, non-surgical patients for S aureus nasal carriage at admission, and monitored them for development of bacteraemia.
