Abstract

In this study we investigated the properties of 47 strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) isolated from patients with infective endocarditis (IE) and 61 strains of CNS isolated from the skin flora of healthy people. Significant differences between the properties of CNS from IE and from the skin flora were seen in the production of protease, lipase, fibrinolysin, siderophore and the ability of hydrophobic CNS strains to adhere to buccal epithelial cells. CNS from IE and from the skin flora did not differ in the production of glycocalyx, capsule, hemolysin and fibronectin and collagen binding. Multiple resistant strains were present among CNS isolated from patients with IE.

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.

Antifungals (ASM)

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.
