Mario Pašalić

During the pre-season, however, he was diagnosed with a Staphylococcus infection, because of which he was forced to miss the first half of the 2012–2013 season.

Terminalia schimperiana

In laboratory experiments, extracts of the plant were found to have in vitro antibiotic properties against Staphylococcus.


Antimicrobial properties of copper

In the interest of protecting public health, especially in heathcare environments with their susceptible patient populations, an abundance of peer-reviewed antimicrobial efficacy studies have been conducted in the past 10 years regarding copper’s efficacy to destroy E. coli O157:H7, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Staphylococcus, Clostridium difficile, influenza A virus, adenovirus, and fungi.

Chelerythrine

It is also the major active natural product found in the plant Zanthoxylum clava-herculis, exhibiting anti-bacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus.

Domestos

In 2005, various commercials for different Domestos brands were shown on British television, with computer generated germs made to represent Salmonella, E.Coli and Staphylococcus.

Hemolysis

In vivo hemolysis can be caused by a large number of medical conditions, including many Gram-positive bacteria (e.g., Streptococcus, Enterococcus, and Staphylococcus), some parasites (e.g., Plasmodium), some autoimmune disorders (e.g., drug-induced hemolytic anemia), some genetic disorders (e.g., Sickle-cell disease or G6PD deficiency), or blood with too low a solute concentration (hypotonic to cells).

Mini survival kit

Antibiotics: broad spectrum ones such as Azithromycin cover staphylococcus bacteria and can treat ear infections, pneumonia, strep throat, and sinusitis

Staphylococcus devriesei

It was originally isolated from cow's milk and teats and, on the basis of 16S ribosomal RNA sequence, is most genetically similar to Staphylococcus haemolyticus, S. hominis, and S. lugdunensis.

Staphylococcus saccharolyticus

The species was formerly known as Peptococcus saccharolyticus but was reclassified on the basis of 16S ribosomal RNA and biochemical similarity to other members of Staphylococcus.

VRSA

Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, a strain of the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus.
