 Staphylococci BMLT Microbiology Clinical significance Of Staphylococci BMLT Staphylococci can cause many types of infections. (1) S aureus causes skin lesions (abscesses, styes) and local abscesses on some sites. (2) S aureus causes serious infections, such as osteomyelitis and endocarditis and more serious skin diseases (furunculosis). (3) S aureus is a major cause of hospital-acquired (nosocomial) infections of surgical wounds and, through S epidermidis, causes infections associated with internal medical equipment. (4) S aureus causes food poisoning by releasing enterotoxins from food. (5) S aureus causes toxic shock syndrome by releasing superantigens into the bloodstream. (6) S saprophiticus causes urinary tract infections, especially in girls. (7) Other types of staphylococci (S lugdunensis, S haemolyticus, S warrneri, S schleiferi, S intermedius) are rare viruses. Structure of Staphylococci BMLT Staphylococci are Gram-positive cocci 1μm in diameter. Build collections Classif...
