  1. A chi-square test of independence was performed to examine the relation between S. lugdunensis carriage and S. aureus colonization. The relation between these variables was significant, X2 (1, N = 270) = 4.3503, *p = 0.037. S. lugdunensis-positive probands are significantly less often colonized by S. aureus than S. lugdunensis-negative volunteers
