Abstract:
Having studied the results, we realised: -Incidence of nasal S.aureus carriage in the surgical patients is 36.1%, of skin S. aureus carriage is 9.6%. - Incidence of S. aureus infection of incision on patients who carry this microorganism in nose is 8.2% and do not carry it is 2.3%. - S. aureus patient ‘s nasal carriage is really the risk factor for transmission of this microoganism to skin and causing infection of incision, including the clean operations. - Treating infectious locations and resolving state of S. aureus patient’ nasal S. aureus carriage will reduce the infected incisions from endogenous flora.
