	Pathogenic Staphylococci of the Nose ? pdf Staphylococcus aureus is a normal, permanent or transient inhabitant of skin and mucous membranes in 10 to 30 % of healthy people. S. aureus has a pathogenic potential, and can produce toxins and virulence factors, causing superficial infections, food poisoning, and more serious diseases. Due to the high antibiotic use and pressure in hospitals, some strains of S. aureus have become resistant to almost all commonly used antibiotics. It is therefore of importance to determine if an S. aureus isolate from a patient carries the methicillin resistance determinant, in order to take special precautions to prevent the spread of a potential methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) to other patients.	4 - 8 20.6 - 20.9 20.12 24.3 - 24.4 25.7 - 25.8 26.9
