In a recent study published in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers elucidated the incidence patterns of teicoplanin-non-susceptible Staphylococcus epidermidis (Teico-NS S. epidermidis) over ...

Present on the skin of every member of the human race, Staphylococcus epidermidis can sometimes become a deadly force of infection; a recent study has found the genes responsible.11020 Recent research ...

TORONTO (CTV Network) — A new study from an international team at the German Center for Infection Research has determined how the bacterium Staphylococcus epidermidis goes from a harmless microbe ...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) is a drug-resistant form of staph bacteria. MRSE infections may be difficult to treat due to their resistance to methicillin and other common ...

PGA Key factor for both skin colonization as it contributes to salt resistance, and for survival during biofilm-related infections by means of protection against antimicrobial peptides and neutrophil ...

Staphylococcus epidermidis is a frequent cause of late onset sepsis in preterm neonates (1,2). The major virulence factor of S. epidermidis is biofilm formation on polymer surfaces, i.e. indwelling ...

Bacteria that normally thrive on healthy skin may not only keep “bad” bacteria at bay — they may also help prevent skin cancer, researchers reported Wednesday. They found Staphylococcus epidermidis ...

A new study has shown that some of the sub-strains of the bacteria that commonly live on our skin have become resistant to common infections – or in other words turned into superbugs. Infections with ...

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 ...

Don’t be alarmed, but a bacterium that could turn deadly is on your skin right now. This bacterium, Staphylococcus epidermidis, is usually harmless, but it may harbor genes that could help it exploit ...

Researchers have identified a promising new target in their fight against a dangerous bacterium that sickens people in hospitals, especially people who receive medical implants such as catheters, ...
