Does anyone know any good sites about Staphylococcus Epidermis bacteria?
Staphylococcus epidermidis is a member of the bacterial genus Staphylococcus, consisting of Gram-positive cocci arranged in chains and is a bacterium that is found in the skin, hair follicles, and mucus membranes. It is found in these areas so that when breaks in the protective skin occur it may enter. This normally takes place after surgical procedures such as shunt and catheter insertions. This provides an optimum environment for colonization and is known to cause diseases such as endocarditis and urinary tract infections http://www.sunysccc.edu/academic/mst/mic… http://www.franklincollege.edu/pwp/lpage… http://en.wikipedia.
