Presentation
Typification of strains through PFGE and spa-typing revealed that some carriers present the same strain, whereas others present different strains along the period of persistence. Almost all strains induced a strong biofilm formation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Interestingly, some clones belonging to different CCs presented a higher PFGE similarity than clones included in the same CC. [doi.org]

Microbiology
-
Legionella Pneumophila
pneumophila (the bacterium that causes Legionnaire disease), and Corynebacterium diphtheriae (the causative agent of diphtheria).Read More In methicillin …certain species of Staphylococcus, including S. aureus and S. epidermis. [britannica.com]
Urine samples from 11 (3.85%) of 286 patients with severe pneumonia of unknown cause were positive for the Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 antigen. We isolated Legionella strains from 7 patients. [doi.org]
Treatment
Contact laser treatment caused a focal temperature increase up to 58 C, whereas plasma treatment led a uniform temperature distribution on the disc within safe limits. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In one study ( Ewing 1998 ) bacterial counts returned to almost pre‐treatment levels by 14 days after completion of treatment. 2. [doi.org]
Prognosis
Long-term prognosis for adult cases of NP currently remains undocumented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
Over the last decades Staphylococcus aureus (SA) has become the dominant etiology of native valve infective endocarditis, with the community-acquired methicillin-sensible Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MSSA) strains being the prevailing type. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology
Conclusion The data suggest that some strains can adapt and colonize new epidemiologically unrelated habitats. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Thus, it is very useful and important molecular tool in understanding the potential epidemiological background of the strains. 3.1.4. [intechopen.com]
Pathophysiology
All efforts by S. aureus to resist neutrophil-mediated killing stress the importance of these mechanisms in the pathophysiology of staphylococcal diseases. [annualreviews.org]
CONCLUSIONS: Impaired IL-10 production in response to SEB in NP may exacerbate the pathophysiology of ECRS including eosinophilia and lower airway obstruction. Copyright 2018 Japanese Society of Allergology. Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
Thus we must elucidate the mechanisms behind S aureus nasal carriage and infection to be able to develop new preventive strategies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
“To date, there is no licensed vaccine available to prevent invasive S. aureus disease. [pfizer.com]
This finding underscores the importance of extending efforts to prevent and reduce the spread of methicillin-resistant S. aureus beyond inpatient facilities. [doi.org]
