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.

Elastase from Staphylococcus epidermidis

Nature, 1968
WE report the discovery of an elastolytic enzyme secreted extracellularly by a variant of Staphylococcus epidermidis found on normal human skin. The 30 per cent incidence of this variant in our isolants of Staph. epidermidis, the most abundant organism on human skin, indicates that it is present in much larger numbers as part of the normal flora of a ...

Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis

Southern Medical Journal, 1978
Staphylococcus epidermidis is frequently associated with infection of prosthetic heart valves, prosthetic orthopedic devices, and neurosurgical shunts. Penicillinase-resistant semisynthetic penicillins, such as methicillin, have been the therapeutic and prophylactic agents of choice for S epidermidis infection.

New Bacteriophages of Staphylococcus epidermidis

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1975
Fifty-six phages designated the U-series and 34 phages designated the Ph-series were carefully examined. The spectrum of activity was established for 183 strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis from different countries and for 258 strains of Staphylococcus aureus.

An Outbreak of Staphylococcus Epidermidis Septicemia

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 1983
During 45 wk from August 1980 to June 1981, the catheter sepsis rate increased from a prior 2 to 34% (23 of 68 patients on intravenous hyperalimentation). The causative organism was Staphylococcus epidermidis, grown on blood cultures in 21 of the 23 patients and on the catheter‐tips of all 23.

Rapid Identification of Staphylococcus epidermidis

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1987
A panel of Minitek sugar disks, consisting of trehalose, mannitol, xylose, and sucrose, was evaluated for its ability to identify blood culture isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis (SE). Using a heavy suspension of organism in Mueller-Hinton broth, 50 microL was pipetted onto each disk in wells of a flat-bottomed microtiter tray. The tray was covered,

Aerosol survival of Staphylococcus epidermidis

Journal of Hospital Infection, 2011
Recent studies have suggested that aerosol dispersal might play a role in the dissemination of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Relatively little has been published about the ability of staphylococci to survive in aerosols. This study measured the survival of Staphylococcus epidermidis, a surrogate for S.

Staphylococcus epidermidis as a cause of meningitis

Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1977
A case of meningitis due to Staphylococcus epidermidis is described. The problems of diagnosis of infection due to coagulase negative staphylococci and features of the pathogenesis and treatment of this specific case are discussed. The potential pathogenicity of Staphylococcus epidermis is noted.

Staphylococcus epidermidis Pathogenesis

2013
Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most frequently encountered member of the coagulase-negative staphylococci on human epithelial surfaces. It has emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen, especially in infections of indwelling medical devices. The mechanisms that S.

Antibiotic Tolerance of Staphylococcus epidermidis

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1985
The phenomenon of antibiotic tolerance was studied in 50 strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis isolated from blood cultures. The antibiotics used for study were methicillin, nafcillin, oxacillin, cephalothin, cefazolin and vancomycin. The MICs and MBCs were determined in Mueller Hinton Broth (MHB) and Brain Heart Infusion broth (BHI) after incubation ...
