Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) is a drug-resistant form of staph bacteria. MRSE infections may be difficult to treat due to their resistance to methicillin and other common ...

WE report the discovery of an elastolytic enzyme secreted extracellularly by a variant of Staphylococcus epidermidis found on normal human skin. The 30 per cent incidence of this variant in our ...

Staphylococcus epidermidis is a frequent cause of late onset sepsis in preterm neonates (1,2). The major virulence factor of S. epidermidis is biofilm formation on polymer surfaces, i.e. indwelling ...

Staph aureus, staph epidermidis, bacillus. Those are the bacteria we found when we went out and swabbed items we touch every day. So what does it all mean? For our tests, Dave Jordan headed to the ...

Cryo-electron microscopy by University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to ...

Don’t be alarmed, but a bacterium that could turn deadly is on your skin right now. This bacterium, Staphylococcus epidermidis, is usually harmless, but it may harbor genes that could help it exploit ...

A University of Helsinki study has investigated bacterial adhesion, survival and transmission on untreated and treated wood ...

Imagine a world in which a vaccine is a cream you rub onto your skin instead of a needle a health care worker pushes into one of your muscles. Even better, it's entirely pain-free and not followed by ...
