[The carriage of Staphylococcus aureus among different population groups].
The level of carriage of Staphylococcus aureus in three biotopes (nose, fauces, hand skin) and categories of carriers among students and teachers of the Medical Institute, medical personnel of surgical department and maternity hospital as well as the workers of combine building plant have been studied. The higher percentage of Staphylococcus aureus carriers was established in the nasal cavity of the maternity hospital personnel (p < 0.001) and on the hand skin of the personnel of surgical stationary (p < 0.05) as compared to the students and teachers. Carriage frequency of Staphylococcus aureus among the workers several times exceeded its level in the control group. The strains of the third phage group predominated among the personnel of surgical department, those of the second and fourth phage, groups, among the maternity hospital workers. Representatives of the second phage group were isolated in the plant workers. High level of carriage among the workers creates preconditions for the development of purulent diseases of the hand and fingers after microtraumas at the plant. All this dictates a necessity to eliminate Staphylococcus aureus in the carriers of all three biotopes.
