claimStaphylococcus epidermidis infections have been linked to long-term hospitalizations, surgical procedures after implantation, infections in neighboring tissues, and tissue damage following implantation operations.
claimKao et al. (2022) found that colonization of nasal cavities by Staphylococcus epidermidis mitigates SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid phosphoprotein-induced interleukin (IL)-6 in the lung.
claimStaphylococcus epidermidis infections can originate from normal skin flora at an insertion site, contaminated medical equipment prior to implantation, or transmission by healthcare professionals.
claimInfections caused by coagulase-negative Staphylococcus epidermidis are prevalent in patients with implanted medical devices, potentially due to the bacterium's ability to build biofilms.
claimStaphylococcus epidermidis has several antibiotic-resistant forms, including tetracycline, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, sulfonamides, fluoroquinolones, clindamycin, and rifamycin.
claimStaphylococcus epidermidis is a member of the human body's normal flora, frequently isolated from epithelia such as the nose, axillae, and head.
claimAcroptilon repens (Russian knapweed), originating from Central Asia, demonstrated in vitro antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Staphylococcus epidermidis.
measurementMethicillin is resistant to 75-90% of Staphylococcus epidermidis strains obtained from hospital specimens.
claimStaphylococcus epidermidis typically maintains a symbiotic relationship with its host, preventing pathogenic microorganisms from invading.
