Staphylococci are among the leading causes of nosocomial infections. Increasing insusceptibility to beta-lactams and the glycopeptides complicates treatment of these infections. This review examines the current status and future perspectives for the therapy of infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci.

Abstract This chapter looks at staphylococci, which are Gram-positive cocci that form clusters, but can occur singly, in pairs, chains, or tetrads. They are classically distinguished from other Gram-positive cocci by presence of catalase, an enzyme that degrades hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). S. aureus is distinguished from other coagulase-

Transmission of Staphylococci by Fomites
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1964Newborn infants were given blankets, shirts, or diapers which had been exposed to carriers ofStaphylococcus aureus. Transmission of organisms to the recipient infants occurred when the fomites were heavily contaminated. The infectivity of the fomites was not influenced by storage for several days at room temperature or by the bacteriophage type ...

Hydrophobicity--hydrophilicity of staphylococci
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1987The hydrophobicity-hydrophilicity of various strains of Staphylococcus has been studied by a technique involving partitioning of the cells between aqueous and hydrocarbon phases. S. aureus was typically hydrophobic, and to a greater degree in stationary- than in exponential-phase cultures.

Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci
Southern Medical Journal, 1988Coagulase-negative staphylococci, long considered to be harmless commensals or contaminants, have emerged as major pathogens as medical technology has advanced. They are a major cause of intravenous-catheter-associated bacteremia, endocarditis, otitis media, and infection of joint prostheses, vascular grafts, cardiac pacemakers, cerebrospinal fluid ...

Antimicrobial Resistance in Staphylococci
Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1995Staphylococci have developed a variety of strategies for dealing with the presence of antibiotics encountered in clinical environments. Resistance to beta-lactams and other antimicrobial agents has been accomplished by a diverse array of molecular mechanisms.
