Journal ArticleDOI
Staphylococcus aureus infections.
TL;DR: In an elegant series of clinical observations and laboratory studies published in 1880 and 1882, Ogston described staphylococcal disease and its role in sepsis and abscess formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial resistance: the example of Staphylococcus aureus
TL;DR: This review will focus on the emergence of antimicrobial resistance in S. aureus, the leading overall cause of nosocomial infections and, as more patients are treated outside the hospital setting, is an increasing concern in the community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathogenesis of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infection
TL;DR: General aspects of staphylococcal pathogenesis are addressed, with emphasis on methicillin-resistant strains and factors or genetic backgrounds that may enhance their virulence or may enable them to cause particular clinical syndromes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Staphylococcus epidermidis infections.
Franklin D. Lowy,Scott M. Hammer +1 more
TL;DR: Vancomycin combined with rifampin, gentamicin, or both, is recommended for empiric therapy of these infections and removal of the prosthetic device is also necessary and may contribute equally to a successful therapeutic outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
What determines nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus
TL;DR: The role of host and bacterial factors in carriage of S. aureus appears likely but the phenotypic determinants are unknown, and variability in host adhesins, immune response or secretion of antimicrobial molecules is investigated.
