Potential Tribological and Antibacterial Benefits of Pulsed Laser Deposited Zirconia Thin Film on Ti6Al4V Bio-alloy [PDF]
Demand for artificial body implants has been on the rise over the years. However, wear and bacterial infection are identified as two major reasons that can lead to inflammation and implant failure. In this communication, the advantages of pulsed laser deposited zirconia thin film on Ti6Al4V bio-alloy at room temperature and at an elevated substrate ...

An automated image analysis framework for segmentation and division plane detection of single live Staphylococcus aureus cells which can operate at millisecond sampling time scales using bespoke Slimfield microscopy [PDF]
Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen, giving rise to antimicrobial resistance in cell strains such as Methicillin Resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Here we report an image analysis framework for automated detection and image segmentation of cells in S. aureus cell clusters, and explicit identification of their cell division planes.

Inflammatory cytokines and biofilm production sustain Staphylococcus aureus outgrowth and persistence: A pivotal interplay in the pathogenesis of Atopic Dermatitis [PDF]
Individuals with Atopic dermatitis (AD) are highly susceptible to Staphylococcus aureus colonization. However, the mechanisms driving this process as well as the impact of S. aureus in AD pathogenesis are still incompletely understood.

Nematode Infections Are Risk Factors for Staphylococcal Infection in Children
Nematode infection may be a risk factor for pyogenic liver abscess in children and we hypothesized that the immunomodulation induced by those parasites would be a risk factor for any staphylococcal infection in children. The present study was designed to

Comparative host specificity of human- and pig- associated Staphylococcus aureus clonal lineages. [PDF]
Bacterial adhesion is a crucial step in colonization of the skin. In this study, we investigated the differential adherence to human and pig corneocytes of six Staphylococcus aureus strains belonging to three human-associated [ST8 (CC8), ST22 (CC22) and ...
