Ecthyma associated with Moraxella and Staphylococcus epidermidis
NIPPV: noninvasive positive pressure ventilation INTRODUCTION Ecthyma is an invasive form of impetigo that penetrates deep into the dermis. This cutaneous infection is characterized by a crusted papule or plaque beneath which a deep ulcer forms. Although typically associated with group A b-hemolytic streptococci, other pathogens have the ability to produce an ecthyma. Here we present a case of ...
متن کاملStaphylococcus epidermidis in Biomaterial-Associated Infections
T.F. Moriarty et al. (eds.), Biomaterials Associated Infection: Immunological Aspects and Antimicrobial Strategies, DOI 10.1007/978-1-4614-1031-7_2, © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2013 Abstract Coagulase-negative staphylococci, mainly Staphylococcus epidermidis , are currently the most frequent cause of hospital acquired infections in the USA. Mostly, but not exclusively, S. epiderm...
متن کامل[Chronic fever associated with splenic abscess due to Staphylococcus epidermidis].
Occult abscesses are frequent causes of chronic fever. Splenic abscesses are rare entities that are usually associated with underlying conditions such as abdominal surgery, endocarditis or immunodepression. We report on the case of a patient with prolonged fever caused by a splenic abscess, whose main differential diagnosis was visceral leishmaniasis. However, this condition was probably relate...
متن کاملSesI May Be Associated with the Invasiveness of Staphylococcus epidermidis
Staphylococcus epidermidis is a commensal bacterium which widely colonizes in human skin and mucous membrane and rarely causes clinically manifested infections. S. epidermidis surface protein I (SesI) is considered to be the major virulence factor of S. epidermidis infection, but its pathogenesis is not clear. Here, we demonstrated that the prevalence of sesI among S. epidermidis invasive isola...
متن کاملStaphylococcus epidermidis Esp degrades specific proteins associated with Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation and host-pathogen interaction.
Staphylococcus aureus exhibits a strong capacity to attach to abiotic or biotic surfaces and form biofilms, which lead to chronic infections. We have recently shown that Esp, a serine protease secreted by commensal Staphylococcus epidermidis, disassembles preformed biofilms of S. aureus and inhibits its colonization. Esp was expected to degrade protein determinants of the adhesive and cohesive ...
