The coagulase negative staphylococci; molecular studies on Staphylococcus haemolyticus and novel treatment of staphylococcal biofilms in vitro and in vivo
Cavanagh, Jorunn Pauline (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2013-01-25)The coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) were earlier regarded as innocuous inhabitants of the human normal skin flora, but are now emerging as opportunistic pathogens. In addition to their biofilm producing ability CoNS are frequently multi-resistant, and a high prevalence of methicillin resistant CoNS is found. Staphylococcus haemolyticus is an emerging cause of nosocomial infections, primarily ...
