Journal ArticleDOI
Nasal Carriage as a Source of Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined S. aureus isolates from blood and from nasal specimens to determine whether the organisms in the bloodstream originated from the patient's own flora.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci
TL;DR: Therapeutically, CoNS are challenging due to the large proportion of methicillin-resistant strains and increasing numbers of isolates with less susceptibility to glycopeptides, and host susceptibility is much more important.
Journal ArticleDOI
Small colony variants: a pathogenic form of bacteria that facilitates persistent and recurrent infections
Richard A. Proctor,Christof von Eiff,Barbara C. Kahl,Karsten Becker,Peter J. McNamara,Mathias Herrmann,Georg Peters +6 more
TL;DR: This Review covers the phenotypic, genetic and clinical picture associated with small colony variants, with an emphasis on staphylococci, for which the greatest amount of information is available.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathogenesis of infections due to coagulasenegative staphylococci
TL;DR: The most important aspects of the pathogenic potential of S saprophyticus, S lugdunensis, and S schleiferi are described, although, compared with S epidermidis, much less is known in these species concerning their virulence factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterisation of the Escherichia coli strain associated with an outbreak of haemolytic uraemic syndrome in Germany, 2011: a microbiological study
Martina Bielaszewska,Alexander Mellmann,Wenlan Zhang,Robin Köck,Angelika Fruth,Andreas Bauwens,Georg Peters,Helge Karch +7 more
TL;DR: Augmented adherence of the strain to intestinal epithelium might facilitate systemic absorption of Shiga toxin and could explain the high progression to haemolytic uraemic syndrome.
