Prevalence and Characteristics

The problem of staphylococcal bacteriococcal carriage is one of the most urgent for modern medicine due to the increasing number of carriers of staphylococci. According to a number of authors staphylococcal bacteriuria in different population groups and patients is subject to large fluctuations (24-82%). Staphylococcus aureus is a unique microorganism that colonizes and affects many organs and tissues demonstrating a wide range of adaptive capabilities. The pathogenic properties of a particular strain of Staphylococcus aureus are determined by the summation of pathogenicity factors toxins and invasive properties of that strain. The pathogenicity of staphylococci varies considerably.The problem of staphylococcal bacteriococcal carriage is one of the most urgent for modern medicine due to the increasing number of carriers of staphylococci.
