Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus (SA) colonization has significant implications in healthcare-associated infections. Here we describe a prospective study conducted in pre-surgical outpatients, done with the aim of identifying demographic and clinical risk factors for SA colonization. We found younger age to be a potential predictor of SA colonization.<br />Competing Interests: The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest.<br /> (© 2022 The Authors.)
