The Pathogenesis of Staphylococcus aureus Eye Infections
Staphylococcus aureus is a major pathogen of the eye able to infect the tear duct, eyelid, conjunctiva, cornea, anterior and posterior chambers, and the vitreous chamber. Of these infections, those involving the cornea (keratitis) or the inner chambers of the eye (endophthalmitis) are the most threatening because of their potential to cause a loss in visual acuity or even blindness. Each of the...
متن کاملImpact of Staphylococcus aureus on pathogenesis in polymicrobial infections.
Polymicrobial infections involving Staphylococcus aureus exhibit enhanced disease severity and morbidity. We reviewed the nature of polymicrobial interactions between S. aureus and other bacterial, fungal, and viral cocolonizers. Microbes that were frequently recovered from the infection site with S. aureus are Haemophilus influenzae, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus...
متن کاملManagement of Staphylococcus aureus infections.
Because of high incidence, morbidity, and antimicrobial resistance, Staphylococcus aureus infections are a growing concern for family physicians. Strains of S. aureus that are resistant to vancomycin are now recognized. Increasing incidence of unrecognized community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus infections pose a high risk for morbidity and mortality. Although the incidence of comple...
متن کاملMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections.
Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is epidemic in the community, differs from nosocomial MRSA in virulence, mechanisms, and antibiotic susceptibility, and exhibits diverse and often unique pathologic characteristics. The community-acquired MRSA USA 300 strains are transmitted largely by person-to-person contact and cause characteristic soft-tissue ab...
متن کاملCorneal pathogenesis of Staphylococcus aureus strain Newman.
PURPOSE To determine the pathogenic role of gamma- and alpha-toxin in a rabbit model of Staphylococcus aureus keratitis. METHODS S. aureus strains Newman (expressing gamma-toxin), Newman Delta(hlg) (deficient in gamma-toxin), Newman Delta(hlg)/pCU1 hlg(+) (chromosomal gamma-toxin-deficient mutant rescued by a plasmid encoding gamma-toxin), and Newman Delta(hla) (alpha-toxin-deficient) were in...
