  • Staphylococcus schleiferi is a facultatively anaerobic, coagulase-variable, Gram-positive cocci organism. (wikipedia.org)
  • Staphylococcus schleiferi can be readily identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF), although differentiation to the subspecies level often requires biochemical testing with tube coagulase and urease reactions. (wikipedia.org)
  • The genomic dynamics of this clone with a zoonotic background should be monitored to accurately understand MRSA evolution. (bvsalud.org)
  • Previously misidentified as S. intermedius , S. pseudintermedius is now recognized as a leading cause of opportunistic infection in dogs ( 1 ) and a cause of sporadic infections in other species, including humans ( 1 , 2 ). (cdc.gov)
  • Multiple biochemical tests can be performed to differentiate these related Staphylococcus species, although some analyses, such as the tube coagulase test, are not performed in routine laboratory procedures. (wikipedia.org)
  • Identifying the particular Staphylococcus species involved in skin infections, and its antimicrobial sensitivity, is important with regard to determining whether the dog is infected with a methicillin-resistant strain. (todaysveterinarypractice.com)
  • It occasionally lives on domestic animals, although these are usually colonized by other species of staphylococci. (frontiersin.org)
  • Additionally, evidence of zoonotic transmission of S. pseudintermedius from dogs to humans has been reported ( 3 , 4 ). (cdc.gov)
  • Although both companion animals and humans can acquire disease from this organism, its zoonotic potential is not well understood. (wikipedia.org)
  • Through the analysis of physicochemical properties, organic acid composition, volatile flavor compounds (VFCs) and sensory characteristics during fermentation, Staphylococcus was confirmed as a contributor to the acidity, ester aroma and alcohol aroma of soy sauce. (bvsalud.org)
  • To understand the mechanism of co-inoculation of Staphylococcus xylosus and Staphylococcus vitulinus (SX & SV) on structural protein degradation and taste enhancement of dry-cured bacon, protease activities, protein degradation, surface morphology of proteins and taste parameters of dry-cured bacon with Staphylococcus inoculation were investigated. (bvsalud.org)
  • It is facultatively anaerobic, coagulase-variable, and can be readily cultured on blood agar where the bacterium tends to form opaque, non-pigmented colonies and beta (β) hemolysis. (wikipedia.org)
  • The earliest form is a follicular papule-the lesion progresses as bacteria spread into surrounding hair follicles. (todaysveterinarypractice.com)
  • Of concern is the emergence and widespread international recognition of methicillin-resistant S. pseudintermedius (MRSP) ( 1 ). (cdc.gov)
