This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: LAB 15 - ISOLATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF STAPHYLOCOCCI - ORGANISMS AND INFECTIONS, abscesses of the skin types of abcesses furuncle or boil: Large, raised, pus-filled, painful nodules having an accumulation of dead, necrotic tissue at the base. The bacteria spread from the hair follicle to adjacent subcutaneous tissue., abscesses of the skin types of abcesses carbuncle: Carbuncles occur when furuncles coalesce and spread into surrounding subcutaneous and deeper connective tissue. Superficial skin perforates, sloughs off, and discharges pus., Staphylococci coagulase-negative staphylococci Staphylococcus hominis, Staphylococcus aureus (The most pathogenic species of Staphylococcus) sources Healthy nasopharygeal carriers. Approximately 30% of adults and most children are healthy periodic nasopharyngeal carriers of S. aureus. Around 15% of healthy adults are persistent nasopharyngeal carriers., Staphylococci coagulase-negative staphylococci Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus (The most pathogenic species of Staphylococcus) other skin infections A frequent cause of accidental wound and postoperative wound infections., Staphylococcus aureus (The most pathogenic species of Staphylococcus) sources Contact with an abscess from an infected individual., Staphylococcus saprophyticus infection urinary tract infections, Staphylococcus haemolyticus infections Staphylococcus hominis, Staphylococcus aureus (The most pathogenic species of Staphylococcus) other skin infections impetigo: A superficial blister-like infection of the skin usually occuring on the face and limbs and seen mostly in young children., abscesses of the skin description An abcess is a pus-filled inflammed lesion., Staphylococcus aureus (The most pathogenic species of Staphylococcus) portal of entry usually the skin, Staphylococcus haemolyticus infections Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococci coagulase-negative staphylococci Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staphylococci coagulase-positive staphylococci Staphylococcus aureus (The most pathogenic species of Staphylococcus), Staphylococcus haemolyticus infections Infections associated with intravascular devices (prosthetic heart valves and intra-arterial or intravenous lines) and shunts; infections of prosthetic joints, wound infections, osteomyelitis associated with foreign bodies; endocarditis., Staphylococci coagulase-negative staphylococci Staphylococcus saprophyticus, abscesses of the skin types of abcesses pustule: An infected hair follicle where the base of the hair follicle appears red and raised with an accumulation of pus just under the epidermis. Infected hair follicles are also referred to as folliculitis., Staphylococci microscopic appearance Gram-positive cocci most commonly in irregular grape-like clusters, Staphylococcus aureus (The most pathogenic species of Staphylococcus) systemic Staphylococcus aureus infections septicemia, septic arthritis, endocarditis, meningitis, osteomyelitis, abscesses in the lungs, spleen, liver, and kidneys
