The pathogenicity and virulence of the opportunistic pathogen Staphylococcus epidermidis [PDF]
VirulenceThe pervasive presence of Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative staphylococci on the skin and mucous membranes has long underpinned a casual disregard for the infection risk that these organisms pose to vulnerable patients in healthcare

The Genus Ochrobactrum as Major Opportunistic Pathogens [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2020 Ochrobactrum species are non-enteric, Gram-negative organisms that are closely related to the genus Brucella. Since the designation of the genus in 1988, several distinct species have now been characterised and implicated as opportunistic pathogens in multiple outbreaks. Here, we examine the genus, its members, diagnostic tools used for identification,

Mucin induces CRISPR-Cas defense in an opportunistic pathogen
Nature Communications, 2022 It is unknown what circumstances promote particular bacterial defenses against bacterial viruses (phages). Almeida & Hoikkala et al. show that mucin, derived from mucus, greatly accelerates CRISPR-Cas defenses against phage in an opportunistic pathogen.
