A Study of Coagulase Reactions in Staphylococci
The pathogenic staphylococci are well known Cor their ability to elaborate a wide variety of antigenic substances, many of which have been designated as exo-toxins. One of these is coagulase. This substance has long been thought to be an important factor affecting the disease producing capabilities …

A Study of Slime-Positive Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) have been involved in medical device and catheter-associated sepsis. Extracellular slime produced by CNS has been implicated as an important factor of pathogenicity. The current investigation involved perfection of a technique for separating slime from the …

Staphylococci of the Skin: Consequences for Host Health
… to a less diverse state with an abundance of Staphylococci. Staphylococci have been shown to be important modulators of the host immune response and can improve host barrier repair from damage by wounding or parasitic infection during health. Much less is known about immune interactions with …

Mechanisms and applications of anti-phage defenses in staphylococci
Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2024-05-01

The enterotoxin producing ability of staphylococci associated with the bovine mammary gland
There was good correlation between the presence of biochemical and cultural features indicating pathogenicity and the ability to produce enterotoxin, but not to such a degree that these features can be used as an indication of enterotoxin-producing ability.

Extraction of Leucocidin From Staphylococci and Its Practical Application in the Diagnosis of Septicemia
Since the classical work of Metclmikoff (l) in 1895 the importance of the cellular defense mechanism has been recognized. The great number of investigations on the various aspects of the subject of phagocytosis that appear in the worlds literature serve as convincing evidence for recognition of the …

Phenotypic and molecular characterization of coagulase negative staphylococci from pigs and humans in Lusaka province, Zambia.
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are normal inhabitants of human and animal skin as well as mucous membranes, yet they have emerged as significant pathogens in healthcare settings, causing serious infections. Initially described as avirulent in 1884, CoNS, particularly Staphylococcus …

Detection of virulence genes and antimicrobial resistance genes in staphylococci isolated at Malamulo hospital in Malawi.
Staphylococci associated morbidities and mortalities have been on the rise in Malawi due to paucity of molecular AMR surveillance data critical for improved patient care. This retrospective laboratory-based study was conducted at Malamulo Hospital, a sentinel AMR surveillance site in Malawi under …

ANTIMICROBIAL CHARACTERIZATION AND THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS OF NOVEL SYNTHETIC THIAZOLE COMPOUNDS AGAINST MULTIDRUG-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCI AND ENTEROCOCCI
For more than a century, antibiotics have been valuable allies in combating an array of bacterial infections. However, each year nearly 23,000 people in the United States of America and 25,000 people in Europe die due to infections that are recalcitrant to currently available antimicrobials. The …

Resistome, virulome and mobilome of nasal staphylococci from healthy humans and animals: A One Health approach with public health implications
La resistencia a los antimicrobianos (RAM) y la patogenicidad de estafilococos constituyen uno de los principales desafíos de salud mundial que deben abordarse mediante un enfoque holístico de "Una sola salud". El estudio de este género bacteriano en la microbiota nasal de humanos y animales sanos …

Two Attempted Investigations into the Complexities of Staphylococcal Disease
… whose apparently clean surgical wounds developed staphylococci, and a comparable group whose surgical wounds healed without infection.</p> <p>A review of approximately one hundred medical records for the pilot study revealed three instances of staphylococcal infection in apparently clean surgical …

Investigating The Functional Relationships Of RND Efflux Pumps In Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
… defence mechanisms of bacterial pathogens. The staphylococci have two genes encoding RND transporters; farE, which promotes efflux of antimicrobial fatty acids, and an uncharacterized gene we have named femT. Although RND pumps are known to contribute to maintenance of cellular homeostasis and …
