Research Article: Nasal Carriage Rate of Staphylococcus aureus, Its Associated Factors, and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern Among Health Care Workers in Public Hospitals, Harar, Eastern Ethiopia
Abstract:
Staphylococcus aureus is a clinically significant pathogen that commonly causes community-acquired and nosocomial infections, especially in the hospital setting and is the most important risk factor for transmitting this pathogen., The largest ecological reservoir of human strains of S. aureus is the human nose; however, the skin, hair, and mucous membranes may also be colonized. These resident bacteria do not normally cause disease but nasal carriage plays a key role in the development of acute and chronic infections.,
