Better Detection of Staphylococcus aureus Nasal Carriage by Use of Nylon Flocked Swabs
Résumé
ABSTRACT Flocked swabs (Copan) were compared to rayon swabs (Copan) for the nasal detection of Staphylococcus aureus in 90 healthy volunteers sampled sequentially during a 5-week period. The use of flocked swabs improved the number of nasal carriers ( P = 0.026), the number of positive specimens ( P = 0.01), and the quantity of bacteria in positive samples ( P = 0.004).
