Strategies of adaptation of Staphylococcus epidermidis to hospital and community: amplification and diversification of SCCmec.

The Journal of antimicrobial chemotherapy - 1 Jun 2012

Rolo Joana, de Lencastre Hermínia, Miragaia Maria

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Staphylococcus epidermidis is a harmless commensal, but it can become a human pathogen, mainly in the hospital environment. In order to clarify strategies used by these bacteria to adapt to the hospital environment, we compared the population structure and staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) content of S. epidermidis from the community and hospital. METHODS: S. epidermidis were collected...
