A 2006 Penn State University study found no trace of Staphylococcus aureus bacterium in any of 20 new generation synthetic turf fields and two natural grass fields tested in various Pennsylvania locations. Researchers concluded that the newer turfs are not a “hospitable environment†for bacteria growth, and that bacteria levels were three times higher in natural grass than in artificial turf.

It would seem the instigating factor is the increased instances of abrasions, and then them being untreated or left uncovered.
