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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

International surveillance Joana Rolo, Ons Bouchami, Nuno Faria, Maria Miragaia In Europe the epidemiology of nosocomial MRSA is well understood, but the epidemiology of CA-MRSA is incompletely documented due to poor geographic coverage and outdated data [itqb.unl.pt]

All efforts by S. aureus to resist neutrophil-mediated killing stress the importance of these mechanisms in the pathophysiology of staphylococcal diseases. [annualreviews.org]

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]
