Staphylococcus capitis TE8 was isolated from the skin surface of a healthy adult foot and found to have potent antibacterial action against Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. [5] Staphylococcus is a gram-positive bacterial spherule. Some staphylococci are capable of producing free coagulase.
Bacterial infections, like staph. The bacteria staphylococcus aureus (staph) always exists on the skin’s surface, but can create problems when it enters the body through a cut or wound.
The most frequently employed are: the reference method (based on growth tests), API ID 32 Staph (bioMe´rieux), Staph-Zym (Rosco), UZA (a rapid 4-h method), and polymerase chain reaction and electrophoretic analysis of the 16S rRNA, hsp60, or sodA gene sequence. Preference towards a particular method usually depends on convenience, economics ...
