“…However, approximately 60% are considered intermittent carriers and the others never present colonization (6) . The anterior nares is considered the primary site of adherence (1,6) , however, there are reports of observations of high rates of MRSA in the throat in children (7) . A recent study showed that, contrary to expectations, colonization is more persistent in the throat than in the anterior nares (8) .…”
