Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis infections on implants

Journal of Hospital Infection, 2018
Infections are one of the main reasons for removal of implants from patients, and usually need difficult and expensive treatments. Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis are the most frequently detected pathogens. We reviewed the epidemiology and pathogenesis of implant-related infections.

Staphylococcus epidermidis infections

Microbes and Infection, 2002
The opportunistic human pathogen Staphylococcus epidermidis has become the most important cause of nosocomial infections in recent years. Its pathogenicity is mainly due to the ability to form biofilms on indwelling medical devices. In a biofilm, S. epidermidis is protected against attacks from the immune system and against antibiotic treatment, making

Staphylococcus epidermidis Infections

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1983
Staphylococcus epidermidis, an organism routinely found on the skin and in the hospital environment, has become a primary pathogen in infections associated with prosthetic devices. Because these infections are indolent and often clinically silent, diagnosis and therapy are often difficult. Pathogens are often misidentified as contaminants.

Staphylococcus Epidermidis as a Uropathogen in Children

Urology, 2023
Historically, Staphylococcus epidermidis has been considered a contaminant when grown on urine cultures. However, a growing body of literature suggests that S. epidermidis can cause urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children with anatomic variants or a history of instrumentation.

ANTIGENIC STUDIES ON STAPHYLOCOCCUS EPIDERMIDIS

Acta Pathologica Microbiologica Scandinavica Section B Microbiology and Immunology, 1971
An antigenic analysis has been performed of 48 strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis, mostly belonging to biochemical type 1. Rabbit preimmune sera were found to contain shared natural antibodies in low titres against S. epidermidis and S. aureus.

Characterization of the Hemagglutinin of Staphylococcus epidermidis

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1995
Adherence to biomaterials and production of biofilm is thought to be pivotal in the pathogenesis of prosthetic device infection by Staphylococcus epidermidis. In this study a strong association (P < .001) of hemagglutination with adherence and biofilm production was observed.
