Category Primary study
JournalSci. Res. J. Army Univ. Med. Sci.
Year 2006
Conclusions: due to our findings, in spite of higher frequency of staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage among medical staffs than non-medical personnel, there is not a significant difference between the prevalence. The same finding was obtained in hand carriage of the germ. So the target group of educating for hygiene improvement to decrease the load of colonies is not only the medical staffs [as the most traditional target] but also non-medical staffs [who are usually out of sight]
