  2. 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 ...

  3. Staphylococcus aureus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus_aureus

    Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive spherically shaped bacterium, a member of the Bacillota, and is a usual member of the microbiota of the body, frequently found in the upper respiratory tract and on the skin. It is often positive for catalase and nitrate reduction and is a facultative anaerobe, meaning that it can grow without oxygen. [1]

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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]

  6. Anterior nares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_nares

    The anterior nares are commonly infected by Staphylococcus aureus (also known as "golden staph") which may contribute to dermatitic skin lesions in patients with atopic dermatitis. [1] The anterior nares can act as a colonizing point from which the infection can spread. [ 2 ]

  7. Anaerobic infection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic_infection

    Anaerobic bacteria can also be isolated in about 35% of individuals who have nosocomial-acquired aspiration pneumonia [25] and pneumonia associated with tracheostomy with and without mechanical ventilation, [26] where they are often isolated along with Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas spp. and Staphylococcus aureus. It is important that ...

  8. Baird-Parker agar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baird-Parker_agar

    Staphylococcus growth in Baird-Parker (BP) agar.. Baird-Parker agar is a type of agar used for the selective isolation of gram-positive Staphylococci species. [1] It contains lithium chloride and tellurite to inhibit the growth of alternative microbial flora, while the included pyruvate and glycine promote the growth of Staphylococci. [1]

  9. ESKAPE - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESKAPE

    ESKAPE is an acronym comprising the scientific names of six highly virulent and antibiotic resistant bacterial pathogens including: Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp. [1] The acronym is sometimes extended to ESKAPEE to include Escherichia coli.
