Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Invasive S. aureus infection (at least 1 sterile sample with growth of S. aureus [e.g. blood, valve, bone]) admitted at Austin and Royal Melbourne Hospitals in Melbourne, Victoria
Following samples are collected:
1. At enrolment and during the initial admission:
- all clinical samples with growth of S. aureus: blood cultures, tissue biopsies (e.g. bone, muscle), body liquids (e.g. joint fluid), pus from abscesses. These samples are already collected for clinical reasons, no additional intervention required
- a nasal swab (collected by a registered nurse)
- a 9 ml blood sample at enrolment, after 3 days and after 7 days (collected by a registered nurse)
2. At follow-up at 6 and 12 months after enrolment:
- nasal swab (self collection)
3. At infection recurrence within 12 months:
- all clinical samples with growth of S. aureus: blood cultures, tissue biopsies (e.g. bone, muscle), body liquids (e.g. joint fluid), pus from abscesses. These samples are already collected for clinical reasons, no additional intervention required
- a nasal swab (collected by a registered nurse)
- a 9 ml blood sample at enrolment, after 3 days and after 7 days (collected by a registered nurse)
