STAPHYLOCOCCAI pneumonia is a well-recognised complication of epidemic influenza. Chickering and Park (1919) described 155 cases, and more recently 66 cases were recorded by Finland, Peterson, and Strauss (1942). Smaller series have also been reported, and both the virus influenza A and the staphylococcus were isolated from patients by Scadding (1937) and Michael (1942). It can also occur as a ...

The International Symposium of Staphylococci and Staphylococcal Infections is a biennial conference that brings together clinicians who treat staphylococcal infections in the community and in hospitals, veterinary microbiologists who study staphylococcal infections in animals, and basic scientists who study pathogenesis of infection and the biology of staphylococci. Over 430 delegates from 24 c...

Rosenblum, E. D. (The University of Texas, Dallas), and Sue Tyrone. Serology, density, and morphology of staphylococcal phages. J. Bacteriol. 88:1737-1742. 1964.-A correlation between serology, buoyant density, and morphology has been demonstrated for six serological groups of staphylococcal phages. Four morphological types have been observed and represent the following serological groups: (i) ...

The most common pathogens in surgical site infections after total hip and knee arthroplasty are methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), and coagulase-negative staphylococci. Patients colonized with MSSA or MRSA have an increased risk for a staphylococcal infection at the site of a total hip or knee arthroplasty. Most colonized individuals who ...

Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) is a type of exfoliating disease with high incidence in children. This condition can cause serious morbidity and even mortality certain comorbid diseases such as malnutrition. Malnutrition could mask the diagnosis SSSS because its similarity to numerous differential diagnoses. Accuracy clinical then essential determine proper initial management. case ...

Tudor-SN (Tudor staphylococcal nuclease), also known as p100 or SND1 (Staphylococcal nuclease and Tudor domain containing 1), is a structurally conserved protein with diverse functions. Emerging evidence indicates that plays an essential role in both physiological pathological processes. Under conditions, regulates DNA transcription, RNA splicing, stability, interference, editing, it for series...

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a Gram positive bacterium that is carried by about one third of the general population and is responsible for common and serious diseases. These diseases include food poisoning and toxic shock syndrome, which are caused by exotoxins produced by S. aureus. Of the more than 20 Staphylococcal enterotoxins, SEA and SEB are the best characterized and are also reg...
