在夏威夷，划独木舟的人和几位医生报告了使用沿海沃茨进行娱乐和葡萄球菌皮肤感染之间的联系。进行了一项回顾性流行病学/微生物监测研究，以确定青少年（4个月至16岁）的金黄色葡萄球菌皮肤感染与他们暴露于娱乐性使用沿海沃茨之间的关系。对53例皮肤感染患者和53例无感染的类似患者（年龄和性别控制）进行了电话采访。发现皮肤感染和水暴露之间存在显著相关性，显示由金黄色葡萄球菌引起的皮肤感染的几率是对照组有海水接触史的4倍。此外，从病人身上分离的金黄色葡萄球菌的抗生素敏感性模式和噬菌体类型与从海水浴场分离的金黄色葡萄球菌相似。
An association between using coastal waters for recreation and staphylococcal skin-infections has been reported by canoe paddlers and several physicians in Hawaii. A retrospective epidemiological/microbiological monitoring study was undertaken to determine the association between S aureus skin infections in youngsters (4 months to 16 years of age) and their exposure to recreational use of coastal waters. Telephone interviews were conducted of 53 patients with such skin infections and 53 similar (controlled for age and sex) patients with no infection. A significant association between skin infection and water exposure was found, the odds showing that those developing skin infection caused by S aureus were 4:times more likely to have had a history of seawater contact than the control group. Moreover, the antibiotic sensitivity patterns and phage types of S aureus isolated from patients were similar to those isolated from seawater at bathing beaches.
