Neonatal osteomyelitis of the talus due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis
2013
Acute osteomyelitis is a relatively rare disorder in the neonatal period, with considerable morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential for a successful outcome. In this report we present a case of acute osteomyelitis of the talus due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis, observed in a 30-day-old infant.
Antibacterial Activity of Flavonoids Against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains
2000
An experimental and theoretical study was performed on the anti-staphylococcal activity of 18 natural and synthetic flavonoids against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains. The analysed flavonoids belong to three well-differentiated structural patterns: chalcones, flavanones and flavones. The quantitative analysis of the anti-staphylococcal activity of the compounds was carried out by determining their percent inhibition degree. The hierarchical cluster analysis method was used to analyse the anti-MRSA activity of the compounds. With this methodology, the flavonoids were classified into four groups according to their anti-staphylococcal activity (high, sufficient, intermediat…
Staphylococcus epidermidis virulences faktori un epidemioloģiskā nozīme
2016
Staphylococcus epidermidis svarīgākais virule nces faktors ir biofilmas veidošana. Lai diferencētu komensālos celmus no kolonizējošiem un invazīviem celmiem, pētījumā tika izmantotas fenotipiskās metodes, nosakot biofilmas veidošanu, antibiogrammu, un molekulārās bioloģijas metodes, nosakot virulences gēnus aap / ica A un mec A. Rezultāti liecina, ka biofilmu veidošana raksturīga klīniskajiem celmiem, statistiski ticami biežāk gēni aap/ica A bija noteikti klīniskajos S.epidermidis celmos, tie vis biežāk bija rezistenti pret meticilīnu (97,8%). S.epidermidis tipēšanai pirmo reizi tika pielietota MLST (multilokusu sekvenču tipēšana) metode. Pētījuma rezultāti ļauj secināt par S.epidermidis ge…
