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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 as a Cause of Bacteremia

Future Microbiology, 2015
Staphylococcus epidermidis is a biofilm-producing commensal organism found ubiquitously on human skin and mucous membranes, as well as on animals and in the environment. Biofilm formation enables this organism to evade the host immune system. Colonization of percutaneous devices or implanted medical devices allows bacteria access to the bloodstream ...

Intraspecific transduction in Staphylococcus epidermidis and interspecific transduction between Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1971
Phages were isolated from Staphylococcus epidermidis after exposure of cultures to mitomycin C. Using certain of these phages, genes controlling resistance to novobiocin, streptomycin, and erythromycin and genes involved in the synthesis of adenine and riboflavin were transferred from donor to recipient strains of S. epidermidis.

Detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1986
To determine whether methods suggested for detecting methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus apply equally to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis, 135 S. epidermidis isolates were tested by the Vitek AMS gram-positive susceptibility card (Vitek Systems, Inc., Hazelwood, Mo.) and by modifications of agar screen, disk diffusion, and ...
