Evaluation of RapiDEC Staph for identification of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus [PDF]
RapiDEC Staph is a test for presumptive identification of the principal human staphylococcal species, Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, and S. saprophyticus. The test includes control and test cupules for fluorogenic detection of coagulase and chromogenic substrates for alkaline phosphatase and beta-galactosidase. These tests identify S. aureus, S.

Dysbiotic disorders, realized as changes in the composition of microbiota of different biotopes, are among the most difficult conditions to cure. This is due primarily to the fact that opportunistic microorganisms that actually mediate the development of

Gene replacement in Staphylococcus carnosus and Staphylococcus xylosus [PDF]
A system for high-efficiency gene replacement in Staphylococcus carnosus and Staphylococcus xylosus has been developed, that is based on temperature-sensitive Escherichia coli-Staphylococcus shuttle vectors for fragment delivery and erythromycin resistance cassettes to facilitate selection of genomic copies of disrupted genes.

Anatomical study with antibacterial and antibiofilm effects of Erodium cicutarium (L.) L'H phenolic roots extract [PDF]
Bacteria acquire resistance to antibacterial drugs, so there is always a need for new drugs to inhibit many human bacterial pathogens. Novel studies were carried out to examine the internal structures as well as the antibacterial effect of Erodium ...

In vitro activity of Tedizolid and Dalbavancin against MRSA strains is dependent on infection source
Objective: We tested the in vitro susceptibility to Tedizolid and Dalbavancin of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains recovered from blood and wound cultures, and compared our results with studies conducted in the last four years.

EFFECT OF HEAT ON THE STAPHYLOCOCCI AND E. COLI RESISTANCE TO ANTIBIOTICS
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: One of the most important problems in treatment of infectious diseases is antibiotic resistance in bacteria. The bacteria can be resistant to antibiotics in different ways which the most common one is the plasmid-origin resistance.

Homology of mecA gene in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus haemolyticus and Staphylococcus simulans to that of Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
A penicillin-binding protein of molecular weight 76,000 inducible by beta-lactams was detected in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus haemolyticus and Staphylococcus simulans. DNA from these strains hybridized to the mecA gene from Staphylococcus aureus; however, the chromosomal HindIII fragments containing the mecA genes were 3.4 kilobases in S ...

Capillary bacterial migration on non-nutritive solid surfaces
Here we describe an additional type of bacterial migration in which bacterial cells migrate vertically across a non-nutritive solid surface carried by capillary forces. Unlike standard motility experiments, these were run on a glass slide inserted into a
