Presentation
They also can present with systemic signs such as fever, hypotension, and other signs concerning sepsis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This comparison highlighted 61 genes present in the infection samples that were largely absent in the innocuous bacteria from the healthy volunteers. [biotechniques.com]
The aim of the present article is to review published data concerning the role of S. epidermidis in the physiopathology of acne and to present future treatment perspectives based on available data and evidence. [karger.com]

Workup
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]
[…] echocardiogram (TTE) is the initial step, which has a high sensitivity to 75% and specificity of about 100%.[18] If TTE is inconclusive and there is high clinical suspicion for endocarditis, then a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) can be done for further workup [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment
Ultrasound microbubbles have emerged as a new treatment modality with the underlying mechanisms largely unknown. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment options should be guided by local epidemiological surveillance data and individual antimicrobial susceptibility test results for each patient’s isolates. [ecdc.europa.eu]
Clone N was detected in 8 of 10 isolates 1 year after treatment and in 3 of 10 isolates 4 years after treatment. Susceptible strains P and Q, which were present pretreatment, were isolated again 4 years after treatment. [wwwnc.cdc.gov]
Prognosis
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]
Etiology
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]
Epidemiology
Treatment options should be guided by local epidemiological surveillance data and individual antimicrobial susceptibility test results for each patient’s isolates. [ecdc.europa.eu]
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]

Prevention
Ensuring consistent application of proper infection prevention and control practices, particularly during the insertion and use of medical devices, is crucial for prevention of infections by S. epidermidis. [ecdc.europa.eu]
