Sternoclavicular joint septic arthritis with small-colony variant Staphylococcus aureus

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease

Abstract

Small-colony variants of Staphylococcus aureus may cause invasive disease in adults that is prolonged and refractory to standard therapies. We present a case of sternoclavicular arthritis with small-colony variant S. aureus that occurred in an 11-year-old child and discuss the importance of identification of these variants in the clinical microbiology laboratory.

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.
