| dc.description.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 CD4รพ cell counts, and a predominance of isolates belonging to ST8/spa-CC064 in persistent carriers. | en_US |
