A friend was trying for this show when she bought a house in Atlantaâ¦they decided after the fact that the couple were not young enough or interesting enough. For the life of me, I canât understand why anyone would want to be on that show! Thanks for sharing with us what goes on behind-the-scenes.
Staphylococci are gram-positive aerobic organisms. Staphylococcus aureus is the most pathogenic; it typically causes skin infections and sometimes pneumonia, endocarditis, and osteomyelitis. It commonly leads to abscess formation. Some strains elaborate toxins that cause gastroenteritis, scalded skin syndrome, and toxic shock syndrome.
Staphylococcus epidermidis is a Gram-positive bacterium, and one of over 40 species belonging to the genus Staphylococcus.It is part of the normal human flora, typically the skin flora, and less commonly the mucosal flora.. epidermidis does not possess the gelatinase enzyme, so it cannot hydrolyze gelatin. It is sensitive to novobiocin, providing an important test to distinguish it from Staphylococcus saprophyticus, which is coagulase-negative, as well, but novobiocin-resistant.
