Description
Bimpe Ogunleye and co-authors measure nose carriage of Staphylococcus aureus in people with weak immune systems in Lagos, Nigeria, in a 2025 study. Such people face high risk of severe infection from this germ. The cohort held 350 people, among them patients with HIV, with HIV and tuberculosis together, and with diabetes, plus healthy controls.
Nose swabs grew the germ in 14.6 percent of all participants. Rates were highest in controls, then in HIV patients, and lowest in diabetes patients. Most isolates resisted methicillin, the standard drug class, a rate of 78.4 percent. Tests also covered other drug responses, two key genes, and answers on health and hygiene habits tied to carriage.
