Abstract

The intranasal method of infeciton of mice proved to be of no avail in search of a model of prolonged staphylococciasis in animals. Intraorbital infection by Badenski's method - by high staphylococcus doses - produced a severe septico-pyemic process with a high percentage of animal death during the first days of the disease. Intraorbital administration to mice of the pathogenic staphylococci in a dose of 300,000-500,000 microbial cells led to formation (in 60 to 80% cases of the sacculated purulent foci with a preponderant localization of the abscesses in the area of the chest, their prolonged persistance and progressive development. The suggested modification of Badenski's method consisting in the use of a 200 times lower infective dose served as a convenient model for studying the pathogenesis of chronic staphylococcus infection and for testing the therapeutic antistaphylococcus preparations.

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.
