Last Updated on December 30, 2020 by Sagar Aryal What is Staphylococcus saprophyticus? Staphylococcus saprophyticus is a Gram-positive, coagulase-negative coccus that is an important part of the group of microorganisms causing urinary tract infections (UTIs), particularly in young sexually active females. Like all Staphylococci, S. saprophyticus is also clustering Gram-positive cocci, nonmotile, non-spore-forming, and facultatively anaerobic. S. saprophyticus is a part ... Read…

There are many classes of antibiotics. It is useful to know at least a handful of antibiotics, and what they are useful for. Below we attempt to summarise the main types of antibiotics, their mechanisms and their common uses.

Staphylococci are Gram-positive bacteria, with diameters of 0.5 – 1.5 μm and characterized by individual cocci, which divide in more than o...

Staphylococcus bacteria are Gram-positive characterized by irregular clusters, widely distributed in nature and can be found on the skin and mucous membranes.

What is E. coli? E. coli are pathogenic strains and are a primary cause of food-borne illness mostly in developing countries. Among the species of the Enterobacteriaceae family and Gram-negative bacteria, E. coli causes more infection and is a well-established agent responsible for food poisoning. E. coli is a common microflora present in the intestinal tract of humans and animals and is commensal bacteria that live harmlessly. These commensal bacteria are mostly non-pathogenic strains and…

A superinfection occurs when additional bacteria colonize the respiratory tract after a virus-induced infection. We explain what helps.
