| lens neutral proteinase | <enzyme> Degrades alpha 2-crystallin; requires ca and mg; cleaves phe-ser bond in bradykinin; similar enzyme found in human lung Registry number: EC 3.4.24.5 Synonym: neutral proteinase 24.5 (26 Jun 1999) |
| Staphylococcus | <bacteria> Genus of nonmotile gram-positive bacteria that are found in clusters and that produce important exotoxins. Staphylococcus aureus (Staphylococcus pyogenes) is pyogenic, an opportunistic pathogen and responsible for a range of infections including severe sepsis, pneumonia, endocarditis and soft tissue infections. It has protein A on the surface of the cell wall. Coagulase production correlates with virulence: hyaluronidase, lipase and staphylokinase are released in addition to the toxins. (27 Sep 1997) |
| staphylococcus antitoxin | A preparation from native serum containing antitoxic globulins or their derivatives that specifically neutralise the lethal, skin-necrosing, and haemolytic properties of the alpha-toxin of Staphylococcus aureus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| staphylococcus epidermidis | A species of staphylococcus that is a spherical, non-motile, gram-positive, chemoorganotrophic, facultative anaerobe. Mainly found on the skin and mucous membrane of warm-blooded animals, it can be primary pathogen or secondary invader. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Staphylococcus food poisoning | Outbreaks commonly caused by staphylococcal enterotoxin and characterised by an abrupt onset of gastroenteritis within several hours after ingestion of the food contaminated with the preformed exotoxin; vomiting is usually more severe and diarrhoea less severe than in infectious forms of bacterial food poisoning. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Staphylococcus haemolyticus | Coagulase-negative staphylococcus indigenous to human and mammalian hosts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Staphylococcus hominis | Coagulase-negative staphylococcus indigenous to human and mammalian hosts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Staphylococcus hyicus | A species whose porcine subspecies are opportunistic pathogens associated with epidermites such as greasy pig disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| staphylococcus phages | Viruses whose host is staphylococcus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Staphylococcus pyogenes albus | A name formerly applied to the organisms which are now regarded as the mutants of Staphylococcus aureus which form white colonies. (05 Mar 2000) |
