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.
