Skin carriage of the Micrococcaceae.
نویسنده
چکیده
The micrococcal flora of the skin of 382 children and 378 adults have been investigated using a scheme derived from the work of Baird-Parker (1963). The predominant groups are Staphylococcus type 2 and Micrococcus type 2. Some differences in the carriage at different sites have been found: in general the nose, axillae, groin, and toe webs have a similar flora but this differs a little from other, glabrous skin sites.

SYNOPSIS Micrococcaceae isolated from the shunt, ventricles, and bloodstream of children with colonized ventriculo-venous shunts were classified within the scheme of Baird-Parker (1963). With one exception, all belonged to subgroup II of the genus Staphylococcus; tests were therefore devised for division within this subgroup, and results are reported in 30 cases from this and other hospitals. S...

Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most important member of coagulase negative staphylococci responsible for community and hospital acquired infections. Most clinical isolates of S. epidermidis are resistant to methicillin making these infections difficult to treat. In this study, correlation of methicillin resistance phenotype was compared with methicillin resistance (mecA) gene carriage in 55 ...

The involvement of the skin microflora in the formation of human underarm odour (UAO) is unequivocal. It has been clearly demonstrated that there is an association between the axillary skin population of aerobic coryneform bacteria and UAO intensity [ 11. Additionally, the sweat secreted by axillary apocrine glands only develops the characteristic UAO after degradation by skin coryneform bacter...
