Staphylococcus epidermidis — the 'accidental' pathogen [PDF]
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2009 Although nosocomial infections by Staphylococcus epidermidis have gained much attention, this skin-colonizing bacterium has apparently evolved not to cause disease, but to maintain the commonly benign relationship with its host. Accordingly, S. epidermidis does not produce aggressive virulence determinants.

Staphylococcus epidermidis infections
Microbes and Infection, 2002The 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 as a Uropathogen in Children
Urology, 2023Historically, 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.

Staphylococcus epidermidis Infections
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1983Staphylococcus 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 aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis infections on implants
Journal of Hospital Infection, 2018Infections 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.

ANTIGENIC STUDIES ON STAPHYLOCOCCUS EPIDERMIDIS
Acta Pathologica Microbiologica Scandinavica Section B Microbiology and Immunology, 1971An 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.
