Optimizing a reliable ex vivo human blood model to analyze expression of Staphylococcus epidermidis genes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Human blood is often used as an ex vivo model to mimic the environment encountered by pathogens inside the host. A significant variety of experimental conditions has been reported. However, optimization strategies are often not described.

Diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis by a new multiplex peptide nucleic acid fluorescence in situ hybridization method [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is one of most common vaginal infections. However, its diagnosis by classical methods reveals low specificity. Our goal was to evaluate the accuracy diagnosis of 150 vaginal samples with research gold standard methods and our ...

Biofilm released cells can easily be obtained in a fed-batch system using ica+ but not with ica- isolates [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Staphylococcus epidermidis is one of the major opportunistic bacterial pathogens in healthcare facilities, mainly due to its strong ability to form biofilms in the surface of indwelling medical devices.

Assessing and reducing sources of gene expression variability in Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms
BioTechniques, 2014 Gene expression quantification can be a useful tool in studying the properties of bacterial biofilms. Unfortunately, techniques such as RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis, and quantitative PCR (qPCR) can introduce variability into mRNA transcript ...
