  2. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methicillin-resistant...

    Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a group of gram-positive bacteria that are genetically distinct from other strains of Staphylococcus aureus. MRSA is responsible for several difficult-to-treat infections in humans. It caused more than 100,000 deaths worldwide attributable to antimicrobial resistance in 2019. MRSA is any ...

  3. Staphylococcal infection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcal_infection

    Staphylococcus scalded skin syndrome – Staphylococcus scalded skin syndrome is caused by toxins produced when a staph infection gets too severe. It is characterized by a fever, rash, and blisters. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) – MRSA is one of the most common antibiotic-resistant strains of staph bacteria. It is more ...

  4. Staphylococcus aureus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus_aureus

    Staphylococcus aureus is a significant cause of chronic biofilm infections on medical implants, and the repressor of toxins is part of the infection pathway. [30] Staphylococcus aureus can lie dormant in the body for years undetected. Once symptoms begin to show, the host is contagious for another two weeks, and the overall illness lasts a few ...

  5. MRSA ST398 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MRSA_ST398

    Staphylococcus aureus. MRSA ST398 is a strain of the gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, which belongs to the genus Staphylococcus. This genus covers a large group of gram-positive bacteria that are classified taxonomically in the family Staphylococcaceae, order Bacillales, class Bacilli, and phylum Firmicutes.

  6. Staphylococcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus

    Staphylococcus species are facultative anaerobes (capable of growth both aerobically and anaerobically). [15] All species grow in the presence of bile salts. All species of Staphylococcus aureus were once thought to be coagulase-positive, but this has since been disproven. [16] [17] [18] Growth can also occur in a 6.5% NaCl solution. [15]

  7. List of antibiotic-resistant bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_antibiotic...

    Staphylococcus aureus is one of the major resistant pathogens. It caused more than 100,000 deaths attributed to AMR in 2019 and MRSA was present in 748,000 global deaths that year. [26] Found on the mucous membranes and the human skin of around a third of the population, it is extremely adaptable to antibiotic pressure.

  8. Ceftaroline fosamil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceftaroline_fosamil

    Ceftaroline fosamil is a prodrug of ceftaroline. It is active against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and other Gram-positive bacteria. It retains some activity of later-generation cephalosporins having broad-spectrum activity against Gram-negative bacteria, but its effectiveness is relatively much weaker.

  9. Coagulase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulase

    A negative coagulase test would instead show the presence of coagulase-negative organisms such as S. epidermidis or S. saprophyticus. However, it is now known that not all S. aureus are coagulase-positive. [2] [3] Whereas coagulase-positive staphylococci are usually pathogenic, coagulase-negative staphylococci are more often associated with ...
