Social network analysis of Staphylococcus aureus carriage in a general youth population [PDF]
Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage increases risk of infection and has been associated with lifestyle behavior and biological host characteristics. We used social network analysis to evaluate whether contacts have the same S. aureus genotype, or whether contagiousness is an indirect effect of contacts sharing the same lifestyle or characteristics ...

Cefazolin versus anti-staphylococcal penicillins for treatment of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia: a narrative review [PDF]
Anti-staphylococcal penicillins (ASPs) are recommended as first-line agents in methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bacteraemia. Concerns about their safety profile have contributed to the increased use of cefazolin. The comparative clinical effectiveness and safety profile of cefazolin versus ASPs for such infections remain unclear ...
