Insights on Evolution of Virulence and Resistance from the Complete Genome Analysis of an Early Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Strain and a Biofilm-Producing Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i> Strain
ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen and the major causative agent of numerous hospital- and community-acquired infections. Staphylococcus epidermidis has...
Susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus growing on fibronectin-coated surfaces to bactericidal antibiotics
Several recent studies have shown that bacteria either grown in vitro as adherent biofilms or recovered from infected prosthetic devices have decreased susceptibilities to antim...
The Intercellular Adhesion ( <i>ica</i> ) Locus Is Present in <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and Is Required for Biofilm Formation
ABSTRACT Nosocomial infections that result in the formation of biofilms on the surfaces of biomedical implants are a leading cause of sepsis and are often associated with coloni...
In vivo efficacy of silver-coated (Silzone) infection-resistant polyester fabric against a biofilm-producing bacteria, Staphylococcus epidermidis.
The Silzone coating reduced inflammation in this direct-contamination model using a strain of S. epidermidis that is capable of producing biofilm. This indicates a concentration...
Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus: Molecular Characterization, Evolution, and Epidemiology
Staphylococcus aureus , a major human pathogen, has a collection of virulence factors and the ability to acquire resistance to most antibiotics. This ability is further augmente...
