Resumo(s)
"Staphylococcus epidermidis is the major colonizer of the human skin and also an important opportunistic pathogen, having been increasingly recognized over the last decades as a major cause of nosocomial infections associated to medical indwelling devices, including central line associated bloodstream infections and surgical-site infections. The success of S. epidermidis in the hospital environment has been frequently associated to their remarkable capacity to accumulate resistance to several antimicrobial classes and also to the ability of forming biofilms on the surface of the medical devices. Additionally, the carriage of genetic markers such as mecA, IS256 and icaA has also been frequently associated to nosocomial S. epidermidis."
