Staphylococcus Epidermidis Isolates from Human Skin Samples for Use as Clinical Molecular Markers
This technology includes a catalog of commensal and pathogenic staphylococci from human skin for utilization as clinical molecular markers of skin conditions and infections. The study of microbial diversity of human skin in both healthy and disease states is important to develop tools to track infections, outbreaks, and multi-drug resistant organisms,...

PSM Peptides as Vaccine Targets Against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Available for licensing and commercial development are compositions and methods for the treatment and inhibition of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a dangerous human pathogen. The invention concerns immunogenic peptides that can be used to induce protective immunity against MRSA, including phenol-soluble modulin (PSM) peptides. In...

Targeting Poly-Gamma-Glutamic Acid to Treat Staphylococcus Epidermidis and Related Infections
Over the past decade, Staphylococcus epidermidis has become the most prevalent pathogen involved in nosocomial infections. Usually an innocuous commensal microorganism on human skin, this member of the coagulase-negative group of staphylococci can cause severe infection after penetration of the epidermal protective barriers of the human body. In the...
