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]
Workup
Describe the workup of a patient with staphylococcus infection. Summarize the treatment options for staphylococcus infections. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] progress rapidly Pleural effusion, pneumatoceles, and pneumothorax are also common In oncology patients, S aureus may cause pulmonary nodules [7] Thrombophlebitis Obtain a blood culture through the intravenous line and a peripheral blood culture See Workup [emedicine.medscape.com]
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]
More serious skin infections can take longer to heal if treatment is delayed or if ineffective treatment is given. [health.state.mn.us]
Prognosis
Long-term prognosis for adult cases of NP currently remains undocumented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis[edit] The prognosis of SSSS in children is excellent, with complete resolution within 10 days of treatment, and without significant scarring. [en.wikipedia.org]
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
The results would contribute in the understanding of epidemiology related to S. aureus spread and prevention. [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]
Objectives: Review the pathophysiology of S aureus infections. Describe the workup of a patient with staphylococcus infection. Summarize the treatment options for staphylococcus infections. [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]

How can you prevent S. aureus Infections? To prevent staph infections, practice proper hand hygiene, keep infected areas covered and clean, and avoid sharing personal items like razors, towels, and needles. [apic.org]
“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]
