Culture for Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), quantitative result

Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive bacterium belonging to opportunistic microorganisms. It has important clinical significance, as it can inhabit the surface of human mucous membranes and skin asymptomatically for a long time, causing disease only in case of a decrease in the body's immune status or a decrease in the amount of normal microflora. Depending on the location in the body, the microorganism can cause various diseases (pathological processes in the upper and lower respiratory tract, infectious-inflammatory skin diseases, intestinal infections, etc.). Staphylococcus aureus is of great importance in the pathology of newborns and infants, based on which examination for the presence of this microorganism is mandatory for pregnant women. Since latent bacterial carriage of S. aureus is a fairly common phenomenon, food service workers, medical personnel, and certain other categories of the population are subject to mandatory examination for the presence of the microorganism in the upper respiratory tract.
The microbiological method allows isolating Staphylococcus aureus on special nutrient media, thereby proving its presence in the body and its possible role in the development of pathology, or latent bacterial carriage.
In this study, a quantitative determination of Staphylococcus aureus is performed.

* The set of antibiotics depends on the isolated microorganism and the commercial test system, which is currently provided by the manufacturer in accordance with modern recommendations / is available for purchase in this region.
