Staphylococcus aureus Carriage in Twins

Staphylococcus aureus Carriage in Twins Abstract Identical twins had a slightly greater incidence of concordance of Staphylococcus aureus carriage than nonidentical twins and unrelated children. This concordance was not statistically significant. There was no significant difference among the identical and nonidentical twins and unrelated children in the types of numbers of the other categories of bacteria. References 1.

Abstract

Abstract Identical twins had a slightly greater incidence of concordance of Staphylococcus aureus carriage than nonidentical twins and unrelated children. This concordance was not statistically significant. There was no significant difference among the identical and nonidentical twins and unrelated children in the types of numbers of the other categories of bacteria. References 1.
