Background: Infective endocarditis (IE) is characterized by an infected thrombus at the heart
valves. How bacteria bypass the immune system and cause these thrombi remains unclear …

Background. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common cause of endovascular infections.
The staphylococcal accessory regulator A locus (sarA) is a major virulence determinant that …

Staphylococcus aureus colonizes epithelial surfaces, but it can also cause severe infections.
The aim of this work was to investigate whether bacterial virulence correlates with defined …

Persistent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia (PB) represents
an important subset of S. aureus infection and correlates with poor clinical outcomes. MRSA …

Objectives We aimed at determining whether specific S. aureus strains cause infective
endocarditis (IE) in the course of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB). Methods A …

Persistent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia (PB) represents
an important subset of S. aureus endovascular infections. In this study, we investigated …

Staphylococcus aureus is the most common cause of endovascular infections, including
catheter sepsis and infective endocarditis (IE). Vancomycin (VAN) is the primary choice for …

We established the 3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT)
assay to assess damage induced by Staphylococcus aureus in human umbilical vein …

Persistent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) endovascular infections
represent a significant clinical-therapeutic challenge. Of particular concern is antibiotic …

Antibiotics are widely used for the treatment of bacterial infections. However, injudicious use
of antibiotics based on an empirical method may lead to the emergence of resistant strains …
