An in vitro model was developed to study the relationship between intravenous catheters, bacteria, and the subcutaneous tunnel. Studies of both slime-forming and nonslime-forming coagulase negative Staphylococcus epidermidis show that slime formation enhances capillary action of coagulase negative S. epidermidis. This offers a possible explanation of the increased virulence associated with slime-forming coagulase negative S. epidermidis in the clinical situation.
建立了一种体外模型,以研究静脉导管、细菌和皮下隧道之间的关系。对产黏液和不产黏液的凝固酶阴性表皮葡萄球菌的研究表明,黏液形成增强了凝固酶阴性表皮葡萄球菌的毛细血管作用。这为临床上与产黏液凝固酶阴性表皮葡萄球菌相关的毒力增加提供了一种可能的解释。
