Pig-tailed macaques are natural carriers of S. aureus (SA). Seventeen macaques at WaNPRC were screened for S. aureus in the nostrils and pharynx at two visits that occurred 8 weeks apart. The mean and SD are shown for each animal. The dotted line indicates the limit of detection (10 CFU/swab). Boxed animal identification (ID) codes indicate animals that were utilized for inoculation studies.
