Identification of surface proteins in a clinical Staphylococcus haemolyticus isolate by bacterial surface shaving
Wolden, Runa; Pain, Maria; Karlsson, Roger; Karlsson, Anders; Fredheim, Elizabeth G. Aarag; Cavanagh, Jorunn Pauline (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-07)<p><i>Background - </i>The skin commensal <i>Staphylococcus haemolyticus</i> is an emerging nosocomial pathogen. Despite its clinical relevance, published information about <i>S. haemolyticus</i> virulence factors is scarce. In this study, the adhesive and biofilm forming properties of ten clinical and ten commensal <i>S. haemolyticus</i> strains were examined using standard adhesion and biofilm ... -
Staphylococcus borealis sp. nov., isolated from human skin and blood
Pain, Maria; Wolden, Runa; Jaén-Luchoro, Daniel; Salvà-Serra, Francisco; Iglesias, Beatriz Piñeiro; Karlsson, Roger; Klingenberg, Claus; Cavanagh, Jorunn Pauline (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-13)When analysing a large cohort of <i>Staphylococcus haemolyticus</i>, using whole-genome sequencing, five human isolates (four from the skin and one from a blood culture) with aberrant phenotypic and genotypic traits were identified. They were phenotypically similar with yellow colonies, nearly identical 16S rRNA gene sequences and initially speciated as <i>S. haemolyticus</i> based on 16S rRNA gene ...
