Associations between total protein, globulin, and nasal Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization in US adults: results from the national health and nutrition examination survey 2001–2004
There was a negative correlation between TP, GLB, and MRSA nasal colonization in participants aged 18 years or older. Our data support the protective role of TP and GLB in MRSA colonization, and the specific mechanisms of these biomarkers in MRSA colonization and their clinical implications require further investigation.
