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]

• Sepsis

  Staphylococcal sepsis is a leading cause of shock, circulatory collapse, and death in people with severe burns over large areas of the body. When untreated, S. aureus sepsis carries a mortality (death) rate of over 80%. [medicinenet.com]

  These metabolic changes in the urine preceded the clinical severe sepsis phenotype, suggesting that detection of the extent of metabolic disruption can aid in the early identification of a sepsis phenotype in advance of the clinical diagnosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Pain

  The clinical features include fever, spinal pain, radiating nerve root pain and leg weakness. When sepsis is present, prompt recognition is required to initiate appropriate antimicrobial therapy and surgical decompression. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Most MRSA infections are skin infections that may appear as pustules or boils which often are red, swollen, painful, or have pus or other drainage. [tn.gov]

  It can involve open sores (canker sores) or redness and swelling. It occurs on the inside of the cheeks or on the tongue or gums. Stomatitis is more common in children, but it can occur at any age. [fairview.org]

• Wound Infection

  BACKGROUND: Wound infections after adult spinal deformity surgery place a high toll on patients, providers, and the healthcare system. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  One way of getting MRSA is to make direct contact with a wound infected with MRSA. Also, if someone with a wound infected with MRSA wipes the wound with a towel or other item, the bacteria will spread to that item. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

• Sneezing

  Wear a surgical mask if you have respiratory symptoms like cough, sneeze, runny nose and sore throat. Young children with symptoms of infections should minimise contact with other children. 4. [chp.gov.hk]

  It is sensible to wash your hands regularly, especially after sneezing and before cooking. Too much soap, though, is not advisable. [micropia.nl]

  These bacteria are spread by having direct contact with an infected person, by using a contaminated object, or by inhaling infected droplets dispersed by sneezing or coughing. [msdmanuals.com]

  When an infected person coughs or sneezes, he or she releases numerous small droplets of saliva that remain suspended in air. These contain the bacteria and can infect others. [news-medical.net]
