| staphylococcus muscae, a new species isolated from flies. | a new coagulase-negative species of the genus staphylococcus, staphylococcus muscae, is described on the basis of the results of a study of four strains that were isolated from flies. 16s rrna sequences of the type strains of s. muscae, staphylococcus schleiferi, and staphylococcus sciuri were determined and used, together with the corresponding sequences of staphylococcus aureus and staphylococcus epidermidis, for a comparative analysis. the new species is characterized taxonomically; this spec ... | 1992 | 1371067 |
| the production of fatty acid modifying enzyme (fame) and lipase by various staphylococcal species. | eighty-six strains encompassing 11 species of coagulase-negative staphylococci were examined for the production of fatty acid modifying enzyme (fame) and lipase. staphylococcus schleiferi and s. saprophyticus most closely resembled s. aureus in that 80% of the strains produced both enzymes. in contrast, no strains of s. lugdunensis and s. haemolyticus tested produced these enzymes. s. simulans was unusual in that eight of 10 strains produced fame, but only one produced lipase. among the other sp ... | 1992 | 1404319 |

| cross-talk between staphylococcus aureus and other staphylococcal species via the agr quorum sensing system. | staphylococci are associated with both humans and animals. while most are non-pathogenic colonizers, staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen capable of causing severe infections. s. aureus virulence is controlled by the agr quorum sensing system responding to secreted auto-inducing peptides (aips) sensed by agrc, a two component histidine kinase. agr loci are found also in other staphylococcal species and for staphylococcus epidermidis, the encoded aip represses expression of agr regu ... | 2016 | 27877157 |

| prevalence of meticillin-resistant staphylococcus pseudintermedius (mrsp) from skin and carriage sites of dogs after treatment of their meticillin-resistant or meticillin-sensitive staphylococcal pyoderma. | meticillin-resistant staphylococci are significant pathogens in veterinary dermatology, yet longitudinal studies of the impact of routine antimicrobial therapy on emergence or resolution of resistance are lacking. | 2012 | 22364707 |
| genotypic diversity of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from inpatients and outpatients. | we investigated the prevalence of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (mrcons) isolated from hospitalized patients and outpatients (op). out of 350 staphylococcal isolates collected from three hospitals, 190 were coagulase-negative staphylococci (cons). these isolates were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility tests, detection of meca, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (pfge) typing. among the 190 isolated cons, staphylococcus epidermidis (47.3%) and staphylococcus haem ... | 2016 | 26248114 |
| evaluation of an immunochromatographic assay for rapid detection of penicillin-binding protein 2a in human and animal staphylococcus intermedius group, staphylococcus lugdunensis, and staphylococcus schleiferi clinical isolates. | the performance of a rapid penicillin-binding protein 2a (pbp2a) detection assay, the alere pbp2a culture colony test, was evaluated for identification of pbp2a-mediated beta-lactam resistance in human and animal clinical isolates of staphylococcus intermedius group, staphylococcus lugdunensis, and staphylococcus schleiferi. the assay was sensitive and specific, with all pbp2a-negative and pbp2a-positive strains testing negative and positive, respectively. | 2016 | 26677248 |

| methicillin-resistant staphylococcus schleiferi subspecies coagulans infection in a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma. | to our knowledge and literature search, staphylococcus schleiferi subspecies coagulans infection in human beings has rarely been described in the medical literature. furthermore, we believe that this is a first detailed case report of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus schleiferi subspecies coagulans infection in a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma. because of the possible association of staphylococcus schleiferi infection and immunosuppression, any isolates of this bacterium in human bein ... | 2017 | 27734018 |
| novel volatiles of skin-borne bacteria inhibit the growth of gram-positive bacteria and affect quorum-sensing controlled phenotypes of gram-negative bacteria. | the skin microbiota is import for body protection. here we present the first comprehensive analysis of the volatile organic compound (voc) profiles of typical skin-resident corynebacterial and staphylococcal species. the voc profile of staphylococcus schleiferi dsmz 4807 was of particular interest as it is dominated by two compounds, 3-(phenylamino)butan-2-one and 3-(phenylimino)butan-2-one (schleiferon a and b, respectively). neither of these has previously been reported from natural sources. s ... | 2016 | 27720237 |
