Staphylococcus aureus colonisation in patients from a primary regional hospital
Staphylococcus aureus (SA or S. aureus) is a common pathogen that leads to local and systemic infections in communitarian and hospitalised patients. Staphylococcus colonizing nasal or pharyngeal sites can become virulent and cause severe infections. In this study, we collected 322 pharyngeal exudates and 142 nasal exudates from hospitalised and outpatients for screening purposes. The carriage r...
متن کاملStaphylococcus aureus Keratitis: A Review of Hospital Cases
BACKGROUND Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is an important public health issue. The study aimed to characterize the patient demographics, clinical features, antibiotic susceptibility, and clinical outcomes of keratitis caused by S. aureus, and to make a comparison between MRSA and methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) isolates. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Pati...
متن کاملAge-related differences in rabbits during experimental Staphylococcus aureus keratitis.
PURPOSE To analyze age-related changes in susceptibility to experimental Staphylococcus aureus keratitis and purified alpha-toxin in rabbits. METHODS Intrastromal injection of S. aureus (100 colony-forming units [CFUs]) induced keratitis in young (6-8 weeks) and aged (approximately 30 months) New Zealand White rabbits. Bacteria and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) per cornea were quantifie...
متن کاملMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ulcerative keratitis in a Thoroughbred racehorse
We report the first case of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) keratitis in a racehorse. A 5-year-old mare developed punctate keratitis after racing. The corneal ulcer continued to expand despite ophthalmic antimicrobial therapy. On day 6, a conjunctival graft surgery was performed. The mare was euthanized, following colitis and laminitis development on day 10. MRSA was isolated...
متن کاملAir pollution alters Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae biofilms, antibiotic tolerance and colonisation.
Air pollution is the world's largest single environmental health risk (WHO). Particulate matter such as black carbon is one of the main components of air pollution. The effects of particulate matter on human health are well established however the effects on bacteria, organisms central to ecosystems in humans and in the natural environment, are poorly understood. We report here for the first ti...
