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 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

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.

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 ...

Fulminating Staphylococcus epidermidis Bacteremia

Southern Medical Journal, 1990
We have reported a case of disseminated Staphylococcus epidermidis infection in a patient with leukemia and examined the relation between an acute respiratory arrest and the infection. Plasmid profiles of five isolates of S epidermidis cultured from this patient's blood, bone marrow, and lung before and after the arrest indicate that all isolates were ...

Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Epidermidis Blepharitis

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1984
Blepharoconjunctivitis caused by methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis occurred in two hospitalized patients, a 74-year-old man and a 19-year-old man. Both strains were resistant to multiple courses of topical antibiotic therapy. Successful treatment in both cases depended upon antibiotic sensitivity testing.

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,

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.

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.
