Role of Biological Characteristics of Staphylococcus epidermidis in Intraerythrocytic Invasion and in Modulation of Erythrocyte Catalase and Superoxide Dismutase Activities in Experimental Generalized Infection

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Studies on mouse model of generalized Staphylococcus epidermidis infection have demonstrated that erythrocytes more often contained microorganisms with pronounced antihemoglobin activity and less frequently with hemolytic activity. Infection with S. epidermidis strains characterized by pronounced hemolytic or antihemoglobin activities was associated with inhibition of erythrocyte catalase and superoxide dismutase activities in all cases, except infection with strains with high antihemoglobin activity, when superoxide dismutase activity increased.
