Objective:Examine the relationship between colonization withStaphylococcus aureusin the community and symptomatic infection in two cohorts of Iowans.Design:Case series within cohort study.Participants:Rural Iowans selected from the Keokuk Rural Health Study, the Agricultural Health Study, and the Iowa Voter Registry.Methods:Longitudinal study within established cohorts evaluating documentedS. aureusinfections with samples available for molecular typing.Results:We examined this relationship in two cohorts of Iowans with a combined 11 incident cases ofS. aureusSSTI, for which samples were available. Seven of the 11 individuals (63.6%) were colonized at baseline, in the nose (3/7, 42.9%), or in both the nose and throat (57.1%). All seven cases had matching sequence types between colonization and infection isolates.Conclusions:Staphylococcus aureuscauses millions of skin and soft tissue infections yearly. Although colonization withS. aureusis a frequent antecedent to infection, many studies investigating the link between colonization and infection have taken place in a clinical setting, particularly in urban hospitals. Our study has shown similar results in a rural community setting to those previously seen in clinics.
