Staphylococcal
''Staphylococcus'' is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria in the family Staphylococcaceae from the order Bacillales. Under the microscope, they appear spherical (cocci), and form in grape-like clusters. ''Staphylococcus'' species are facultative anaerobic organisms (capable of growth both aerobically and anaerobically). The name was coined in 1880 by Scottish surgeon and bacteriologist Alexander Ogston (1844–1929), following the pattern established five years earlier with the naming of ''Streptococcus''. It combines the prefix "staphylo-" (from grc, σταφυλή, staphylē, bunch of grapes), and suffixed by the Modern (from ). Staphylococcus was one of the leading infections in hospitals and many strains of this bacterium have become antibiotic resistant. Despite strong attempts to get rid of them, staph bacteria stay present in hospitals, where they can infect people who are most at risk of infection. Staphylococcus includes at least 43 species. Of these, nine have two su ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Staphylococcus Aureus
''Staphylococcus aureus'' is a Gram-positive spherically shaped bacterium, a member of the Bacillota, and is a usual member of the microbiota of the body, frequently found in the upper respiratory tract and on the skin. It is often positive for catalase and nitrate reduction and is a facultative anaerobe that can grow without the need for oxygen. Although ''S. aureus'' usually acts as a commensal of the human microbiota, it can also become an opportunistic pathogen, being a common cause of skin infections including abscesses, respiratory infections such as sinusitis, and food poisoning. Pathogenic strains often promote infections by producing virulence factors such as potent protein toxins, and the expression of a cell-surface protein that binds and inactivates antibodies. ''S. aureus'' is one of the leading pathogens for deaths associated with antimicrobial resistance and the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains, such as methicillin-resistant ''S. aureus'' (MRSA ...

Staphylococcus Hominis
''Staphylococcus hominis'' is a coagulase-negative member of the bacterial genus ''Staphylococcus'', consisting of Gram-positive, spherical cells in clusters. It occurs very commonly as a harmless commensal on human and animal skin and is known for producing thioalcohol compounds that contribute to body odour. Like many other coagulase-negative staphylococci, ''S. hominis'' may occasionally cause infection in patients whose immune systems are compromised, for example by chemotherapy or predisposing illness. Description Colonies of ''S. hominis'' are small, usually 1–2 mm in diameter after 24 hours' incubation at 35 °C, and white or tan in colour. Occasionally, strains are resistant to novobiocin and may be confused with other resistant species (e.g. '' S. saprophyticus''). It is one of only two species of ''Staphylococcus'' to display sensitivity to desferrioxamine, the other being ''S. epidermidis''. Unlike ''S. epidermidis'', ''S. hominis'' produces acid from tr ...

Staphylococcus Hyicus
''Staphylococcus hyicus'' is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic bacterium in the genus ''Staphylococcus.'' It consists of clustered cocci and forms white circular colonies when grown on blood agar. ''S. hyicus'' is a known animal pathogen. It causes disease in poultry, cattle, horses, and pigs. Most notably, it is the agent that causes porcine exudative epidermitis, also known as greasy pig disease, in piglets. ''S. hyicus'' is generally considered to not be zoonotic, however it has been shown to be able to cause bacteremia and sepsis in humans. ''Staphylococcus hyicus'' commonly infects pig herds worldwide due to its global distribution. It can be found on asymptomatic carrier pigs at sites such as the skin, mucosa of nasal cavity, conjunctiva, and genitals (vagina of sow and prepuce of boar). Infection with ''S. hyicus'' can be prevented with an autogenous vaccine. Managing the pigs can prevent disease and reduce the severity of an outbreak. Treatment includes topical ...

It is part of the normal flora of the skin of the human scalp, face, neck, scrotum, and ears and has been associated with prosthetic valve endocarditis, but is rarely associated with native valve infection. Clinical importance CoNS produce a slimy biofilm enabling them to adhere to medical devices such as prosthetic valves and catheters and makes them difficult to remove by patient immune response to antibiotic therapy. As native flora of the skin and mucous membranes, they may be introduced anytime these are punctured, i.e. at the time of device placement, venipuncture, or through breaks in the mucous membrane or skin. CoNS species, such as ' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Staphylococcus Argenteus
''Staphylococcus argenteus'' are gram-positive cocci from the genus ''Staphylococcus'' which have been isolated from blood culture of a 55-year-old Indigenous Australian female in 2006 in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. The species is close related to '' S. aureus'' and the differentiation is challenging. ''Staphylococcus argenteus'' is cytotoxic to human cells due to high expression of alpha-hemolysin. References argenteus The ''argenteus'' ( ''argentei'', 'of silver') was a silver coin produced by the Roman Empire from the time of Diocletian's coinage reform in AD 294 to ca. AD 310. It was of similar weight and fineness to the denarius of the time of Nero. The c ... Bacteria described in 2015 {{Bacilli-stub ...
