Infections with the leading nosocomial pathogen Staphylococcus epidermidis are
characterized by biofilm development on indwelling medical devices. We demonstrate that …

Device-associated infections involving biofilm remain a persistent clinical problem. We
recently reported that four methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains …

Clinical information about genotypically different clones of biofilm‐producing
Staphylococcus aureus is largely unknown. We examined whether different clones of …

Biofilm-associated infections are a significant cause of morbidity and death. Staphylococci,
above all Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis, are the most frequent causes of biofilm …

Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus of the USA300 lineage
is emerging as an important cause of medical device-related infection. However, few factors …

Staphylococci, in particular Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis, are a
leading cause of healthcareassociated infections. Patients who have a medical device …

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 aureus biofilms are extremely difficult to treat. They provide a protected
niche for the bacteria, rendering them highly recalcitrant toward host defenses as well as …

Aim To assess the biofilm‐producing capacities of Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated
from hospitalized patients in Israel. Methods and Results A total of 16 S. aureus (80 MRSA …

Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis are the most important etiological
agents of biofilm associated-infections on indwelling medical devices. Biofilm infections may …
