Question

The most common site where carriers of Staphylococcus aureus carry this pathogen is
A)all over the skin.
B)under the fingernails.
C)anterior nares (nostrils).
D)mouth.
E)intestines.

Accepted Answer

Anterior nares (nostrils) are the most common site for carriers of Staphylococcus aureus to carry this pathogen.
