Staphylococcus aureus (SA) colonization has significant implications in healthcare-associated infections. Here we describe a prospective study conducted in pre-surgical outpatients, done with the aim of identifying demographic and clinical risk factors for SA colonization. We found younger age to be a potential predictor of SA colonization.

Surgical site infections (SSI) are the most common and most expensive of the Healthcare-associated Infections (HAI). The rate of SSI in the world is 11.2 per 100 patients. One of the significant and important factors leading to ineffectiveness of prevention of SSI is a weak system of epidemiological surveillance, including insufficient completeness of accounting and registration of Healthcare-associated Infections. To conduct a full epidemiological surveillance of SSI, the complex of measures is necessary, including: conducting a prospective study, efficient microbiological monitoring of SSI pathogens, correct calculation of morbidity taking into account risk factors, organizational-methodical support of epidemiological surveillance.
