Sensitivity of screening the nares and the oropharynx to identify adult individuals who are colonised with S. aureus
| Urban county (n = 46) | Rural county (n = 33) | Total (n = 79) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nares | 21/46 (45%) | 25/33 (75%) | 46/79 (58%) |
| Oropharynx | 43/46 (93%) | 25/33 (75%) | 68/79 (86%) |
Note: The denominator is the total number of adults colonised with S. aureus in their nares, their oropharynx, or both. The numerator is the number of adults identified by culture screening of the specific anatomical site.
