| staphylion | The midpoint of the posterior edge of the hard palate; a craniometric point. See: posterior nasal spine. Origin: G. Dim. Of staphyle, a bunch of grapes (05 Mar 2000) |
| staphylo- | Staphyl- Resemblance to a grape or a bunch of grapes, hence relating usually to staphylococci or, in obsolescent image, to the uvula palatina. See: uvulo-. Origin: G. Staphyle, a bunch of grapes (05 Mar 2000) |
| staphylo-opsonic index | The opsonic index calculated in relation to a staphylococcal infection, with a young culture of Staphylococcus aureus or the strain of staphylococcus from the patient being used in the test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| staphyloccoccal scalded skin syndrome | <syndrome> A potentially serious side effect of infection with the staph (staphylococcus) bacteria that produces a specific protein which loosens the cement holding the various layers of the skin together. This allows blister formation and sloughing of the top layer of skin. If it occurs over large body regions it can be deadly (just like a large surface area of the body having been burned). It is necessary to treat scalded skin syndrome with intravenous antibiotics and to protect the skin from allowing dehydration to occur if large areas peel off. The disease occurs predominantly in children under 5 years of age. It is known formally as staphyloccoccal scalded skin syndrome and as ritter disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| staphylococcaemia | The presence of staphylococci in the circulating blood. Synonym: staphylohemia. Origin: staphylo-+ G. Haima, blood (05 Mar 2000) |
| staphylococcal | Infection due to staphylococcus. (27 Sep 1997) |
| staphylococcal food poisoning | Poisoning by staphylococcal toxins present in contaminated food. (12 Dec 1998) |
| staphylococcal infections | Infections with bacteria of the genus staphylococcus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Staphylococcal neutral phosphatase | <enzyme> A surface-bound bacterial protein; highly cationic; shows maximum phosphatase activity at neutral pH; binds to immunoglobulin Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- Synonym: staphylococcal nptase, nptase (26 Jun 1999) |
| staphylococcal pneumonia | Pneumonia, usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus, usually commencing as a bronchopneumonia, and frequently leading to suppuration and destruction of lung tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| staphylococcal protein a | A protein present in the cell wall of most staphylococcus aureus strains. The protein selectively binds to the fc region of human normal and myeloma-derived IgG. It elicits antibody activity and may cause hypersensitivity reactions due to histamine release; has also been used as cell surface antigen marker and in the clinical assessment of b lymphocyte function. (12 Dec 1998) |
| staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome | <syndrome> A disease of infants due to group 2 phage type 17 staphylococci that produce an epidermolytic exotoxin. Superficial fine vesicles and bullae form and rupture easily, resulting in loss of large sheets of epidermis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| staphylococcal skin infections | Infections to the skin caused by bacteria of the genus staphylococcus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| staphylococci | <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) |
