Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity islands (SaPIs) are highly mobile phage-related mobile genetic elements in staphylococci. Elements similar to SaPIs have been detected in related Gram-positive ...

Gram-positive cocci are often isolated from clinical samples. It is important to be able to distinguish these organisms from one another because while some are normal flora, others can be pathogenic.

The MSA will select for organisms such as Staphylococcus ... the same results are considered positive (e.g. a lactose broth tube that turns yellow after incubation has been inoculated with an organism ...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), for example, comprises gram-positive bacteria that can cause several potentially lethal respiratory infections. Conventionally, S. aureus ...

"Normal flora" include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Staphylococcus aureus, and anaerobes such as Bacteroides species, anaerobic gram-positive cocci, and Fusobacterium species.

Its research and development pipeline includes early-stage antibiotic candidates that target other Gram-positive bacteria, including Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Vancomycin ...
