Infections due to coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) most frequently occur after the
implantation of medical devices and are attributed to the biofilm-forming potential of CoNS …

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common pathogens in biofilm-associated chronic
infections. S. aureus living within biofilms evades the host immune response and is more …

Objectives To investigate the effect of subinhibitory concentrations of cell wall active
antibiotics on virulence gene expression and biofilm formation in Staphylococcus aureus …

Staphylococcus epidermidis is an opportunistic pathogen associated with foreign body
infections and nosocomial sepsis. The pathogenicity of S. epidermidis is mostly due to its …

S taphylococcus aureus, a notorious human pathogen, is a major cause of the community as
well as healthcare associated infections. It can cause a diversity of recalcitrant infections …

Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus are the most frequent causes of
nosocomial infections and infections on indwelling medical devices, which characteristically …

Staphylococci are frequently implicated in human infections, and continue to pose a
therapeutic dilemma due to their ability to form deeply seated microbial communities, known …
