MicroDSC study of Staphylococcus epidermidis growth

Effect of growth medium on hydrophobicity of Staphylococcus epidermidis.

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of growth medium on expression of hydrophobicity of Staphylococcus epidermidis. A total of 24 hydrophobic isolates of S. epidermidis, determined by n-hexadecane adherence assay (HAA) earlier were included. Five different growth media: horse blood agar (HBA), brain heart infusion agar (BHIA), brain heart infusion broth (BHIB), tryptic soy b...

The Effect of Zirconia in Hydroxyapatite on Staphylococcus epidermidis Growth

Synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA) has been widely used and developed as the material for bone substitute in medical applications. The addition of zirconia is needed to improve the strength of hydroxyapatite as the bone substitute. One of the drawbacks in the use of biomedical materials is the occurrence of biomaterial-centred infections. The recent method of limiting the presence of microorganism o...

Effect of Anaerobic Growth on Nitrate Reduction by Staphylococcus Epidermidis.

Jacobs, N. J. (American Meat Institute Foundation, Chicago, Ill.), J. Johantges, and R. H. Deibel. Effect of anaerobic growth on nitrate reduction by Staphylococcus epidermidis. J. Bacteriol. 85:782-787. 1963.-In anaerobic cultures, a strain of Staphylococcus epidermidis failed to reduce nitrate, although nitrate was reduced in stationary cultures grown in the presence of air. Resting suspensio...

Phage typing of Staphylococcus epidermidis.

Thirteen phages were isolated from lysogenic cultures of Staphylococcus epidermidis from a clinical laboratory and used to type 223 clinical isolates of this organism. The 18 phages isolated in The Netherlands were used to type these same cultures. No correlation was observed between phage type, biotype, or clinical source of isolation. At phage concentrations of 100 times the routine test dilu...
