TL;DR
A study in Yuma, Arizona finds non-Hispanic people have more Staphylococcus aureus infections than Hispanics.
Contribution
The study reveals consistent infection patterns linked to ethnicity and gender in a specific geographic area.
Findings
Non-Hispanics had 2.25 times higher infection rates than Hispanics.
Males showed higher infection rates across most age groups.
Infection disparities align with colonization patterns, indicating similar impacts of sex and ethnicity.
Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus infection patterns in Yuma, Arizona show a 2.25x higher infection rate in non-Hispanics. Males had higher infection rates in most age classes. These disparities in infection are mostly consistent with previously observed patterns in colonization, suggesting that sex and ethnicity do not differentially impact colonization and infection.
