Staphylococcal Enterotoxin A
''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 Intermedius
''Staphylococcus intermedius'' is a Gram-positive, catalase positive member of the bacterial genus ''Staphylococcus'' consisting of clustered cocci. Strains of this species were originally isolated from the anterior nares of pigeons, dogs, cats, mink, and horses. Many of the isolated strains show coagulase activity. Clinical tests for detection of methicillin-resistant ''S. aureus'' may produce false positives by detecting ''S. intermedius'', as this species shares some phenotypic traits with methicillin-resistant ''S. aureus'' strains. It has been theorized that ''S. intermedius'' has previously been misidentified as ''S. aureus'' in human dog bite wound infections, which is why molecular technologies such as MALDI-TOF and PCR are preferred in modern veterinary clinical microbiology laboratories for their more accurate identifications over biochemical tests. ''S. intermedius'' is largely phenotypically indiscriminate from Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus de ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 ...

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 Gallinarum
''Staphylococcus gallinarum'' is a Gram-positive, coagulase-negative member of the bacterial genus ''Staphylococcus'' consisting of single, paired, and clustered cocci. Strains of this species were first isolated from chickens and a pheasant. The cells contain cell walls with chemical similarity to those of ''Staphylococcus epidermidis''. Since its initial discovery, ''S. gallinarum'' has also been found in the saliva of healthy human adults. ''Staphylococcus gallinarum'' is not generally pathogenic, though it has been isolated from infected wounds of hospital patients, from blood of a patient with a chronic hepatitis B infection, and from an eye infection (endophthalmitis Endophthalmitis is inflammation of the interior cavity of the eye, usually caused by infection. It is a possible complication of all intraocular surgeries, particularly cataract surgery, and can result in loss of vision or loss of the eye itself ...). The infection rate and morbidity of ''S. gallinarum'' is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Staphylococcus Felis
''Staphylococcus felis'' is a Gram-positive, coagulase-negative member of the bacterial genus ''Staphylococcus'' consisting of clustered cocci.

Staphylococcus Epidermidis
''Staphylococcus epidermidis'' is a Gram-positive bacterium, and one of over 40 species belonging to the genus '' Staphylococcus''. It is part of the normal human microbiota, typically the skin microbiota, and less commonly the mucosal microbiota and also found in marine sponges. It is a facultative anaerobic bacteria. Although ''S. epidermidis'' is not usually pathogenic, patients with compromised immune systems are at risk of developing infection. These infections are generally hospital-acquired. ''S. epidermidis'' is a particular concern for people with catheters or other surgical implants because it is known to form biofilms that grow on these devices. Being part of the normal skin microbiota, ''S. epidermidis'' is a frequent contaminant of specimens sent to the diagnostic laboratory. Some strains of ''S. epidermidis'' are highly salt tolerant and commonly found in marine environment. S.I. Paul et al. (2021) isolated and identified salt tolerant strains of ''S. epiderm ...
