Abstract

Staphylococcus epidermidis is a resilient microbe distinguished by its immobile, Gram-positive spherical cells that aggregate in clusters resembling grape clusters. Biochemical examinations reveal a faintly positive outcome in the nitrate reductase test for this microbe. It generates urease while lacking oxidase production. S. epidermidis possesses a transferrin-binding protein that facilitates the acquisition of iron from transferrin. The formation of biofilms on plastic devices plays a pivotal role in the pathogenicity of S. epidermidis and its connection to acne. This adaptable bacterium is frequently encountered as a nosocomial and commensal pathogen, recognized for its opportunistic behavior and its global impact on infections, primarily contracted within healthcare facilities. It displays a remarkable ability to establish strong biofilms on various surfaces, contributing to infections linked to catheters and heart valve implants. The transmission of the bacterium is easily facilitated through the contamination of the skin of hospital visitors and healthcare personnel.
