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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Background: Staphylococcus epidermidis is the predominating etiology of neonatal septicemia in industrilized countries, but specific virulence factors associated with S. epidermidis are incompletely ...

Cryo-electron microscopy by University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to ...

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 ...

Cryo-electron microscopy has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to infect Staphylococcus epidermidis, and high-resolution ...

People who persistently carry Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in their nose have fewer species of other bacteria, while certain bacteria may help to prevent S. aureus colonization. These are the ...

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 ...

The development and characterization of a mouse model of chronic Staphylococcus epidermidis foreign body infection was done with two clinical isolates that differed in degree of extracellular slime ...

Artists paint with colorful microbes on agar palettes for the American Society for Microbiology's Agar Art Contest. In this webinar, Evelien Van Hamme and Elina Kuznecova will discuss core facility ...
