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

Results of the CRA method. ( A ) CRA-positive strain of S. epidermidis presented as black colonies. ( B ) CRA-positive strain of S. aureus presented as black colonies. ( C ) CRA-negative strain of P. aeruginosa presented as red colonies. Figure 2. [iovs.arvojournals.org]

• Corneal Edema

  Case definitions of POE Late onset POE was diagnosed when features of endophthalmitis such as increase in pain and redness, decreasing visual acuity, flare in the anterior chamber, corneal edema, hypopyon and poor glow in the fundus developed in a patient [omicsonline.org]

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]

Ultrasound microbubbles have emerged as a new treatment modality with the underlying mechanisms largely unknown. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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]

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]
