The epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus and antibiotic resistance in community-acquired infections

金黄色葡萄球菌感染的范围从疖子到危及生命的疾病，对抗生素的耐药性越来越强，难以治疗。金黄色葡萄球菌感染，密切接触者，24个月，看看他们是否携带S。金黄色葡萄球菌（鼻拭子）或发生感染。我们关于定植和感染风险因素的数据将帮助医生决定是否追踪和治疗患者接触者，以保护家庭免受进一步感染。

Staphylococcus aureus infections range from boils to life-threatening diseases and are increasingly resistant to antibiotics and difficult to treat. This study follows patients with community-acquired S. aureus infections, and close contacts, for 24 months to see if they carry S. aureus (nose swabs) or develop infection. Our data on risk factors for colonisation and infection will help doctors decide whether to trace and treat contacts of patients to protect households from further infection.
