Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage before breast reconstruction: antibiotic resistance, biofilm formation, and virulence genes—a single center in vitro observation
Our findings indicate that <i>S. aureus</i> isolates from nasal carriers undergoing breast implantation exhibit antibiotic resistance, biofilm-forming ability, and harbor multiple virulence genes. Early detection of <i>S. aureus</i> colonization via nasal swab screening may be crucial for managing infection risk in patients undergoing breast reconstruction.
