The team set out to test if Staphylococcus epidermidis, a common bacterium on human skin, would respond to electrical ...

Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria usually live harmlessly on human skin, but if they enter the body after surgery or via ...

Experiments in the new study showed that S. epidermidis does something that the researchers call "selective excitability." In response to electricity, the bacteria turn down the activity of genes ...

PGA Key factor for both skin colonization as it contributes to salt resistance, and for survival during biofilm-related infections by means of protection against antimicrobial peptides and ...

As more bacteria that cause diseases become increasingly resistant to antibiotics, we need more ways to fight off infections.

Imperceptible low-level electric current applied through a skin patch caused a nearly 10 times reduction in amounts of ...

Researchers created a bioelectronic device that reduces harmful bacterial behavior through electrical stimulation, ...

Staphylococcus epidermidis exhibits different patterns of colonization to skin epithelial layers, which may contribute to long-term colonization. The microbial surface components recognizing ...

Staphylococcus aureus is capable of fermenting mannitol (left side of left plate) while Staphylococcus epidermidis is not (right side of left plate). This is a differential medium. It tests an ...

This is a continuation project that seeks to develop a method for the removal of mature S. Epidermidis biofilms from orthopedic implants due to acute prosthetic joint infections, or PJI’s. PJI’s occur ...

The team set out to test if Staphylococcus epidermidis, a common bacterium on human skin, would respond to electrical stimulations. S. epidermidis is generally harmless and can even protect the ...
