Predictive model of Staphylococcus aureus growth on egg products

Effect of filaggrin breakdown products on growth of and protein expression by Staphylococcus aureus

BACKGROUND Colonization of the skin by Staphylococcus aureus in individuals with atopic dermatitis exacerbates inflammation. Atopic dermatitis is associated with loss-of-function mutations in the filaggrin (FLG) gene, accompanied by reduced levels of filaggrin breakdown products on the skin. OBJECTIVE To assess the affect of growth in the presence of the filaggrin breakdown products urocanic ...

Staphylococcus aureus growth boundaries: moving towards mechanistic predictive models based on solute-specific effects.

The formulation of shelf-stable intermediate-moisture products is a critical food safety issue. Therefore, knowing the precise boundary for the growth-no-growth interface of Staphylococcus aureus is necessary for food safety risk assessment. This study was designed to examine the effects of various humectants and to produce growth boundary models as tools for risk assessment. The molecular mobi...

Antibacterial Activity of Origanum vulgare on Staphylococcus aureus in a Rat Model of Surgical Wound Infection

[Egg crater mattresses: a deposit of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus?].

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the microbiological conditions of the egg crater mattress in hospital use to identify the presence of Staphylococcus aureus and its methicillin-resistance phenotype (MRSA). Petrifilm plates were used to collect the microbiological data from the mattresses, in pre-established positions. A total 180 plates were collected in 15 mattresses, 139 (72.2%) of w...

Growth of Staphylococcus aureus in Lhpriuan Intralipid

Background: The incidence and severity of infections are increased when Intralipid or Diprivan are administered to patients. Intralipid promotes infection, presumably by inhibiting the reticuloendothelial system, thereby suppressing the host's constitutive immunity, whereas Diprivan supposedly promotes infection by supporting bacterial growth and increasing the inoculating dose. This study cons...
