Özet

Aim: Nasal carriage rates for Staphylococcus aureus have been reported to vary between 18% and 50% in different populations and it represents a risk factor for invasive infections. The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of genes associated with fibronectin binding proteins mediating the adhesion of S. aureus to human epithelial cells.
