Description :
Staphylococcus aureus is the second most frequent cause of nosocomial blood infections. We screened 14008 non-bacteraemic, non-surgical patients for S aureus nasal carriage at admission, and monitored them for development of bacteraemia. Nosocomial S aureus bacteraemia was three times more frequent ...

Description :
Nonbullous impetigo is a common skin infection in children and is
frequently caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcal toxins and
especially exfoliative toxin A are known mediators of bullous impetigo in
children. It is not known whether this is also true for nonbullous
...

Description :
Background. Staphylococcus aureus is capable of persistently colonizing the vestibulum nasi. We hypothesized that polymorphisms in host inflammatory response genes and genetic variation in S. aureus contribute to susceptibility to S. aureus carriage and infection. Methods. The prevalence of persiste...

Description :
Currently, there is no animal model known that mimics natural nasal colonization by Staphylococcus aureus in humans. We investigated whether rhesus macaques are natural nasal carriers of S. aureus. Nasal swabs were taken from 731 macaques. S. aureus isolates were typed by pulsed-field gel electropho...

In order to determine the prevalence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci
(VRE) in The Netherlands, 624 hospitalized patients from intensive care
units or hemato-oncology wards in nine hospitals and 200 patients living
in the community were screened for VRE colonization. Enterococci...

Description :
Campylobacter jejuni has been identified as the predominant cause of
antecedent infection in Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and Miller Fisher
syndrome (MFS). The risk of developing GBS or MFS may be higher after
infection with specific C. jejuni types. To investigate the...
