Abstract Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SE) are essential in human and animal infection food poisoning. This study analyzed ten genes ( sek, sel, sem, sen, seo, sep, seq, ser, ses , set ) encoding new staphylococcal enterotoxin isolated from animals humans by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In Yogyakarta, Indonesia, samples cases (174 isolates), cattle (5 goats isolates) resulted a tot...

T HE TWO major problems in bacterial in fections facing us today are the control of staphylococcal infections, and the con trol of cases of bacillary sepsis.1 Infections due to staphylococci that are resistant to almost all existing chemotherapeutic and antibiotic agents are prevalent in hospital patients and are especially common in wound infections. Bacillary sepsis, on the other hand, makes ...

Food poisoning that involves multiple etiologies is reported from developing as well developed nations.Among the microbial causes, Staphylococcus aureus a major pathogen of food can occur in sporadic and epidemic form. It may cause life-threatening infections children, elderly, immunocompromised persons. Staphylococcal responsible for 241,000 cases United States annually. A variety foods, such ...

Background & Objective: Staphylococcus aureus, especially methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), represent serious nosocomial and community infections. Biofilm formation as an important virulence factor may be affected by sub-inhibitory levels of antibiotics. Few studies examined the effects of all therapeutic antimicrobial agents on...

TO THE EDITOR—Daptomycin is increasingly used for treatment of staphylococcal infections including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). We report a case of neutropenia as an adverse effect of long-term daptomycin therapy.

Pemphigus is a severe autoimmune blistering disorder, in which immunoglobulin G autoantibodies are directed against desmosomal glycoproteins. The antibodies against desmogleine1 are prevalent in normal subjects living in Tunisia, that suggests the role of environment in the pathogenesis of this endemic type of pemphigus and the need for additional factors to switch from a subclinical form to a ...

A woman with an intracellular killing defect in the neutrophils had neutrophil pyruvate kinase deficiency. She had had recurrent staphylococcal infections throughout her life. The enzyme present was unstable and its kinetics were abnormal.

BACKGROUND Staphylococcal infections (SI) after cardiothoracic (CT) or orthopedic (OP) surgery are associated with extended length of stay (LOS), a considerable mortality rate, and high cost. No data on these consequences have been published in France. Therefore, a study was conducted to describe the epidemiologic, clinical, and economic outcomes of SI following these operations in France based...
