OBJECTIVE
To examine the relationship between the isolation of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus in blood cultures and acute phase markers of inflammation.
METHODS
The present study was a prospective observational analysis conducted at three medical/surgical intensive care units (ICUs) involving
The epidemiology of healthcare-associated meningitis (HAM) is dominated by commensal bacteria from the skin, as coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS). We hypothesized that the pauci-symptomatic and mild inflammatory patterns of HAM are related to the low pathogenic state of CoNS. Our aim was to
Chloramphenicol is mostly used against coagulase-negative Staphylococcus aureus, and its protective role against coagulase-positive S. aureus is not well studied. In our study, arthritis was induced in mice by S. aureus (Apollo Gleneagles 33 (AG-33) or American Type Culture Collection 25923
OBJECTIVE
To determine the anti-inflammatory effects of glycyrrhizin (GL) in lactating cows with mastitis attributable to naturally occurring infection with coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS).
METHODS
12 lactating Holstein cows with mastitis attributable to infection with CNS and 2 healthy cows
BACKGROUND
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are the most prevalent pathogens causing late onset sepsis in neonates. They are often multiresistant to antibiotics, and the ability to form biofilm is considered their main virulence determinant.
METHODS
During a 12-year period, we identified 150
In this study, bacterial cultures were collected from five sites on each of 50 healthy cats and 48 cats with inflammatory skin disease (ISD), to determine prevalence of carriage and relative frequency of methicillin resistance in coagulase-positive staphylococci and Staphylococcus schleiferi ssp.
OBJECTIVE
Cutaneous eruptions, mainly papulopustular, are the most common associated side effects of epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors (EGFRIs). This study investigated the possible role of bacterial infection in EGFRI-induced eruptions and its relation to clinical morphology.
METHODS
The
BACKGROUND
The role of bacterial colonization in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) lesions is poorly understood. To date, data on the related microbial profile and especially on bacterial resistance rates are scarce.
METHODS
The results of bacterial cultures and susceptibility patterns of the isolated
To investigate the pathological role of staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) and toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) in bovine mastitis, the production of SEs and TSST-1 was investigated in staphylococci isolated from 120 mammary gland secretions (MGS, 51 from no clinical sign-mammary glands and 69
Staphylococcus aureus causes many serious diseases in humans and animals, and it is the most common aetiologic agent of contagious bovine mastitis. The bacteria produce several virulence factors and the importance of evaluating the combination of these virulence factors has been recently emphasized.
Swab samples (n=72) obtained from the teat apex of lactating dairy cows without visual signs of inflammation (n=18) were gathered on 2 well-managed Flemish dairy herds (herds 1 and 2) during the same month to assess the bacterial diversity of teat apices before milking. A combination of both
We describe a novel mouse model of acute staphylococcal pneumonia induced by intravenous injection of Staphylococcus aureus enmeshed in agar beads. For comparison, we also used various strains of bacteria, including three strains of S. aureus, two strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis, one strain of
OBJECTIVE
Seroepidemiological studies have given rise to the hypothesis that microorganisms like Chlamydia pneumoniae (CP), Helicobacter pylori (HP), cytomegalovirus (CMV), HCV types 1 and 2, and bacteria involved in dental or other unspecified infection sites may initiate or maintain the
The study was carried out on two groups--the study group consisting of 50 women with acute pelvic inflammatory disease and the control group consisting of 20 women admitted for tubal ligation. Pouch of Douglas aspirates were collected under all aseptic precautions with 18 gauge medicut needle. The
A surgical procedure to separate the teat and udder cisterns in the udder quarter was described. The sampling method used and its influence on the somatic cell count and bacteriological status of the teat samples were determined. The surgical procedure resulted in complete separation of the teat
