Table 2 Characteristics of the Staphylococcus aureus isolates recovered in this study for chronic rhinosinusitis (n = 10) and disease control (n = 8) patients. Staphylococcal protein A (spa) typing results and reported relative global frequency distributions were determined using Ridom StaphType software v2.2.1. Isolates were considered methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) if they exhibited resistance to penicillin and flucloxacillin antibiotics. CRS chronic rhinosinusitis.
