金黄色葡萄球菌定殖的灵敏检测对流行病学研究、感染控制和去殖措施具有重要意义。我们检查了331名重症监护病房儿童鼻咽取样对金黄色葡萄球菌定植的敏感性。咽部筛查比鼻部筛查更敏感（92.6%比63.1%,P < 0.0001）。
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).
