Epidemiology of staphylococcal infections [PDF]
During the period 1951–58, a study has been carried out of a series of seventeen families in which more than one member developed a staphylococcal lesion.In eleven of these families, phage typing revealed that spread of infection from person to person had occurred.

Seasonality of staphylococcal infections [PDF]
Characterization of seasonal variation of Staphylococcus aureus is important in understanding the epidemiology of, and designing preventive strategies against this highly virulent and ever-evolving pathogen. In this review, we summarize the findings of epidemiological studies that have evaluated seasonality in S.

Cefazolin versus anti-staphylococcal penicillins for treatment of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia: a narrative review [PDF]
Anti-staphylococcal penicillins (ASPs) are recommended as first-line agents in methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bacteraemia. Concerns about their safety profile have contributed to the increased use of cefazolin. The comparative clinical effectiveness and safety profile of cefazolin versus ASPs for such infections remain unclear ...

Staphylococcal and streptococcal infections
Staphylococcal and streptococcal infections are common infectious diseases and can range from mild, superficial skin infections to severe, life-threatening systemic infections. Staphylococcus aureus, group A streptococcus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae are the three major pathogens.

Ultrafast solvation dynamics at internal site of staphylococcal nuclease investigated by site-directed mutagenesis [PDF]
Solvation is essential for protein activities. To study internal solvation of protein, site-directed mutagenesis is applied. Intrinsic fluorescent probe, tryptophan, is inserted into desired position inside protein molecule for ultrafast spectroscopic study. Here we review this unique method for protein dynamics researches.

Fulminant Staphylococcal Infections
ABSTRACT Fulminant staphylococcal infection indicates an explosive, intense, and severe infection occurring in a patient whose previous condition and antecedent would never have caused any anticipation of life-threatening development. This includes necrotizing pneumonia, necrotizing fasciitis, and to some extent toxic shock syndrome and ...

Treatment of staphylococcal infection [PDF]
Prescriptions must be part of a package that includes infection control W e have seen a spectacular rise in multiresistant Staphylococcus aureus (usually termed methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus— MRSA) in hospitals and care homes in the United Kingdom in the past five years.1 The emergence and spread of modern resistant bacteria are not ...

Staphylococcal Infections of the Heart [PDF]
The basic problems of staphylococcal infections do not seem near to solution. Possibly an effective and safe antibiotic will be found to which resistant, pathogenic staphylococcal mutants will not appeal. This may, not be an overly sanguine hope. Had it not been for the ability of the staphylococcus to synthesize penicillinase, this goal would have ...

The SIR model in a moving population: propagation of infection and herd immunity [PDF]
In a collection of particles performing independent random walks on $\mathbb Z^d$ we study the spread of an infection with SIR dynamics. Susceptible particles become infected when they meet an infected particle. Infected particles heal and are removed at rate $\nu$.

Parasite infection in a cell population with deaths and reinfections [PDF]
We introduce a model of parasite infection in a cell population, where cells can be infected, either at birth through maternal transmission, from a contact with the parasites reservoir, or because of the parasites released in the cell medium after the lyses of infected cells.
