Decreased neutrophil bactericidal activity during phagocytosis of a slime-producing Staphylococcus aureus strain. [PDF]
Phagocytosis and intracellular killing by bovine polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) are important host defence mechanisms against mastitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus. We compared the phagocytosis and overall killing of a non slime-producing (NSP) S.

Biofilm formation among methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates from patients with urinary tract infection. [PDF]
Staphylococci have been confirmed to form biofilms on various biomaterials. The purpose of this study was to investigate biofilm formation among methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates from patients with urinary tract infection (UTI ...

Staphylococcus aureus Regulatory RNAs as Potential Biomarkers for Bloodstream Infections
Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal bacterium and pathogen. Identifying biomarkers for the transition from colonization to disease caused by this organism would be useful. Several S. aureus small RNAs (sRNAs) regulate virulence. We investigated presence

The Signature of God in Medicine and Microbiology An Apologetic Argument for Declarative Design in the Discoveries of Alexander Fleming [PDF]
In logic and reasoning, a signature indicates the presence of an author; likewise, the characteristics of staphylococci indicate the presence of a Creator.

In vitro antagonistic effect of nisin on faecal enterococci and staphylococci
Enterococci and staphylococci, isolates from faecal samples of 46 different animals such as deer, chamois, European bison, zebra, camel, antelope, gazelle, horse, and piglets were treated by nisin (concentration 1 mg/ml). Only two strains (SX38 and EA163)
