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 in CSF Infections
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1982To the Editor. —The recent article of Trump et al, published in theArchives(1982;142:583-586), showed the importance of Staphylococcus epidermidis in CSF infections in patients with subcutaneous reservoirs and ventricular catheters. It was stated that "the pattern of antibiotic sensitivity using a standard in vitro disk method provided useful ...

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.

Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis
Southern Medical Journal, 1978Staphylococcus 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, 1968WE 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 ...

Characterization of the Hemagglutinin of Staphylococcus epidermidis
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1995Adherence 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.

Fulminating Staphylococcus epidermidis Bacteremia
Southern Medical Journal, 1990We 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 ...

Rapid Identification of Staphylococcus epidermidis
American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1987A 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, 1975Fifty-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.

Staphylococcus epidermidis as a cause of meningitis
Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1977A 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.
