It occurs as a commensal on human skin, but has been recorded as a cause of serious human infections, [5] [6] such as osteomyelitis, arthritis, [7] septicaemia, wound infections, [8] and aggressive endocarditis. [9] S. lugdunensis is generally very susceptible to antistaphylococcal antibiotics, but increasing penicillin resistance has been ...
[42] [43] S. pseudintermedius infections in a human host have been known to cause endocarditis, post-surgical infections, inflammation of the nasal cavity (rhinosinusitis) and catheter-related bacteremia. [6] Staphyloccus pseudintermedius becomes established in a human wound, it has the ability to form antibiotic resistance biofilms. [6]
Staph infections have a multitude of different causes, such as: Open wounds – This is by far the biggest cause of staph infection. Any open wound, even ones as small as a paper cut, are vulnerable to being infected. Staph bacteria will enter the body through any open wound, so it is important to properly treat, disinfect, and bandage any wounds.
Staphylococcus hominis is a coagulase-negative member of the bacterial genus Staphylococcus, consisting of Gram-positive, spherical cells in clusters.It occurs very commonly as a generally harmless commensal on human and animal skin and is known for producing thioalcohol compounds that contribute to body odour.
Staphylococcus epidermidis is a Gram-positive bacterium, and one of over 40 species belonging to the genus Staphylococcus. [1] It is part of the normal human microbiota, typically the skin microbiota, and less commonly the mucosal microbiota and also found in marine sponges.
Staphylococcus schleiferi is a Gram-positive, cocci-shaped bacterium of the family Staphylococcaceae. [1] It is facultatively anaerobic, coagulase-variable, and can be readily cultured on blood agar where the bacterium tends to form opaque, non-pigmented colonies and beta (β) hemolysis. [2]
Staphylococcus intermedius is a Gram-positive, catalase positive member of the bacterial genus Staphylococcus consisting of clustered cocci.Strains of this species were originally isolated from the anterior nares of pigeons, dogs, cats, mink, and horses.
Bullous impetigo is a bacterial skin infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus that results in the formation of large blisters called bullae, usually in areas with skin folds like the armpit, groin, between the fingers or toes, beneath the breast, and between the buttocks.
