Detection of Staphylococcus aureus in nasal tissue with peptide nucleic acid-fluorescence in situ hybridization. [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Staphylococcus aureus (SA) in the nose can be a simple colonizer but also may create an intramucosal reservoir causing recurrent infections or can be a specific immune modulator through superantigenic mechanisms. Because the colonization rate of SA is high, but immunologic reactions causing chronic disease are less frequent, the purpose of this study was to identify the presence of intramucosal SA in healthy subjects and in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and to eventually relate those to the specific immunologic changes due to SA enterotoxins.
