This review explores staphylococci colonization in humans, highlighting ecological niches and implications.
In mammals, staphylococci physiologically colonize the skin, sebaceous and sweat glands, and the mucous membranes of the nose, oropharynx, intestines, and urogenital tract [2,6,10,16]. Staphylococcus aureus permanently or transiently colonizes approximately 20-30% of the human population, predominantly in the nares and on the skin [1,10,14,16].
