Evaluating infection risk associated with Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage in blood donors: a prospective multicentre study in Denmark
In this study comprising healthy adults, nasal carriers with S. aureus exhibited an increased risk of redeemed dicloxacillin and topical fusidic acid prescriptions, but nasal carriage was not associated with any other types of bacterial infection. Findings suggest that nasal carriage elevates the burden of community-acquired S. aureus infections.
