A low threshold for the consideration of infectious osteomyelitis is warranted in persons presenting with new, progressive back pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

UTIs caused by S. epidermidis in a previously healthy child should not be disregarded as a contaminant and further workup for urinary tract abnormality is indicated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Conclusion: UTIs caused by S. epidermidis in a previously healthy child should not be disregarded as a contaminant and further workup for urinary tract abnormality is indicated. [jabfm.org]

• Nephrolithiasis

  This report describes a 60-year-old patient with bilateral nephrolithiasis. A catalase-negative Staphylococcus epidermidis strain was recovered from both urine and blood cultures. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  : Unique physiological and pathogenic features of Leptospira interrogans revealed by whole-genome sequencing. Nature 422(6934),888–893 ( 2003 ). [doi.org]

• Trichophyton Rubrum

  Cultures of a skin specimen grew Staphylococcus epidermidis and Trichophyton rubrum. Antibiotic therapy was effective but failed to eliminate the lesion until antifungal therapy using terbinafine was administered concurrently. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• HLA-B27

  The clinical pictures, the instrumental and biochemical findings, in particular the positivity of HLA B27, allow us to set this case in the complex and heterogeneous chapter of reactive arthritis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Riboflavin was added to the pool which was then split into two bags: one for UV treatment and the second was untreated. Bacterial counts were determined before and after treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Hence, we determined the ETT microbial consortium co-colonizing with S. epidermidis or P. aeruginosa to understand its importance in the development of VAP and for patient prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Genomic fingerprinting of 19 staphylococcal isolates from the cerebrospinal fluid, blood, catheter and skull biopsy was necessary to establish the etiologic diagnosis and to guide medical and surgical therapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Traditionally, S. aureus has been considered as the main etiological agent of mastitis. [bmcmicrobiol.biomedcentral.com]

Abstract Background: Staphylococcus epidermidis, in spite of being a commensal of the eye, is regarded as one of the common etiological agents of bacterial endophthalmitis. [omicsonline.org]

DNA macro-restriction analysis with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis was helpful in the epidemiological investigation of this S. epidermidis chronic bacteraemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Another factor that has limited investigations of S. epidermidis epidemiology is the lack of rapid, non-labor-intensive, and highly discriminatory and reproducible genotyping methods. [jcm.asm.org]

The current accepted pathophysiological mechanism of S. epidermidis orthopedic device infection is the direct inoculation of skin colonizing strains at the time of surgery [2] – [4]. [journals.plos.org]
