Abstract
This longitudinal study on Staphylococcus aureus colonization in Nigerian human immunodeficiency
virus patients (n Z 187) found a trend towards a higher proportion of persistent S.
aureus carriage in patients with advanced human immunodeficiency virus infection, low
CD4þ cell counts, and a predominance of isolates belonging to ST8/spa-CC064 in persistent
carriers.
