Antimicrobial Treatment of Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms
Staphylococcus aureus is a microorganism frequently associated with implant-related infections, owing to its ability to produce biofilms. These infections are difficult to treat because antimicrobials must cross the biofilm to effectively inhibit ...

Recent Developments in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Treatment: A Review
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a Gram-positive bacterium that may cause life-threatening diseases and some minor infections in living organisms. However, it shows notorious effects when it becomes resistant to antibiotics.

Antimicrobial Activity of the Quinoline Derivative HT61 against Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms. [PDF]
Staphylococcus aureus biofilms are a significant problem in health care settings, partly due to the presence of a nondividing, antibiotic-tolerant subpopulation. Here we evaluated treatment of S.

Prevalence of non-aureus Staphylococcus species causing intramammary infections in Canadian dairy herds [PDF]
Non-aureus staphylococci (NAS), the microorganisms most frequently isolated from bovine milk worldwide, are a heterogeneous group of numerous species. To establish their importance as a group, the distribution of individual species needs to be determined.

The Role of Macrophages in Staphylococcus aureus Infection
Staphylococcus aureus is a member of the human commensal microflora that exists, apparently benignly, at multiple sites on the host. However, as an opportunist pathogen it can also cause a range of serious diseases. This requires an ability to circumvent
