DOI: 10.1089/mdr.2022.0330
Abstract: Although coagulase negative staphylococci are rarely associated with complicated diseases, in some cases they cause life-threatening infections. Here we described a clinical case of a bacteremia due to a methicillin- and linezolid-resistant Staphylococcus capitis in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3201/eid2303.160833
Abstract: A multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus capitis clone, NRCS-A, has been isolated from neonatal intensive care units in 17 countries throughout the world. S. capitis NRCS-A prevalence is high in some neonatal intensive care units in France. These… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2022.1060825
Abstract: Introduction In neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), the standard chemical-based disinfection procedures do not allow a complete eradication of pathogens from environmental surfaces. In particular, the clone Staphylococcus capitis NRCS-A, a significant pathogen in neonates,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.1005949
Abstract: Staphylococcus capitis is primarily described as a human skin commensal but is now emergent as an opportunistic pathogen isolated from the bloodstream and prosthetic joint infections, and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)-associated sepsis. We used… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.1007143
Abstract: Previous studies have reported that spaceflight specific conditions such as microgravity lead to changes in bacterial physiology and resistance behavior including increased expression of virulence factors, enhanced biofilm formation and decreased susceptibility to antibiotics. To… read more here.
