PurposeStaphylococcus aureus may cause antibiotic-associated diarrhea and enterocolitis, with or without preceding antibiotic use, in immunocompromised adults or infants, or individuals with predisposing conditions, but there is little appreciation of this condition clinically.Clinical DiseaseThe main clinical feature that helps to differentiate staphylococcal enterocolitis (SEC) from Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea is large-volume, cholera-like diarrhea in the former case.

Fatal infection with enterocolitis from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and the continued value of culture in the era of molecular diagnostics
TLDR
Risk factors, importance of stool culture, and the third published case of MRSA enterocolitis in a patient with leukemia demonstrate that MRSA in stool may indicate a severe and potentially life-threatening infection, particularly in immunocompromised persons. Expand
Klebsiella oxytoca bacteremia-causal relationship to symptomatic colitis?

  • International journal of infectious diseases : IJID : official publication of the International Society for Infectious Diseases
  • 2013
TLDR
A retrospective chart review evaluating K. oxytoca bacteremia and the prevalence of symptomatic colitis found that the loss of intestinal cell membrane integrity with colitis may allow translocation of the bacteria into the blood stream, with further systemic complications. Expand
Staphylococcal Enterotoxins
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a Gram positive bacterium that is carried by about one third of the general population and is responsible for common and serious diseases. These diseases include… Expand
Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus -Associated Diarrhea in a Critically Ill Burn Patient
TLDR
A case of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) enterocolitis found on stool culture in a 22-week pregnant female with a previously negative nasal MRSA culture, and a total burn surface area greater than 60%. Expand
Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus-Associated Diarrhea in a Critically Ill Burn Patient
TLDR
A case of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) enterocolitis found on stool culture in a 22-week pregnant female with a previously negative nasal MRSA culture, and a total burn surface area greater than 60%. Expand
A Case of Postoperative Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Enterocolitis in an 81-Year-Old Man and Review of the Literature
TLDR
An 81-year-old man with no recent history of travel, exposure to potential infectious sources, or antibiotic or proton-pump inhibitor use was admitted for a Whipple procedure for stage III pancreatic adenocarcinoma and was diagnosed with MRSA proctocolitis and improved with initiation of oral and intravenous vancomycin. Expand
A systematic review for pursuing the presence of antibiotic associated enterocolitis caused by methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus
TLDR
A systematic review of pertinent literatures found articles reporting AAE with pathological and microscopic findings supporting MRSA as the etiological agent and AAE caused by MRSA most likely does exist. Expand
Enterotoxin‐producing staphylococci cause intestinal inflammation by a combination of direct epithelial cytopathy and superantigen‐mediated T‐cell activation
TLDR
Staphylococci induce enterocolitis by a combination of direct enterocyte cytopathy mediated by EDIN toxins, disrupting the epithelial barrier, and enterotoxin superantigen‐induced mucosal T‐cell activation. Expand
The changing face of Staphylococcus aureus: a continuing surgical challenge.
TLDR
Whether screening and directed surgical prophylaxis against methicillin- (now sometimes referred to as meticillin-) resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is controversial, effective efforts to decrease the incidence of nosocomial infections may be decreasing the numbers of MRSA infections encountered, and current agents remain effective for therapy. Expand
Staphylococcal and Streptococcal Superantigen Exotoxins
TLDR
The review discusses the major known and possible human disease associations with superantigens, including associations with toxic shock syndromes, atopic dermatitis, pneumonia, infective endocarditis, and autoimmune sequelae to streptococcal illnesses. Expand

Neonatal staphylococcal enterocolitis: association with indwelling feeding catheters and S. aureus colonization.
TLDR
The first case of this unusual disease occurred in a previously asymptomatic infant in whom signs of acute disease included ileus, leukopenia, shock, and diarrhea; a culture of the stool revealed S. aureus in pure growth. Expand
The role of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus in neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis.
TLDR
Data clearly indicates that Staphylococcus epidermidis must be considered as a significant pathogen in NEC, associated with both morbidity and mortality and, therefore, warrants appropriate aggressive therapy when recovered from the neonate with enterocolitis. Expand
Low mortality in necrotizing enterocolitis associated with coagulase-negative Staphylococcus infection
TLDR
A low incidence and mortality rate of necrotizing enterocolitis is reported and thrombocytopenia is confirmed as a marker of severity, and positive blood cultures for CoNS may explain, at least in part, the low mortality reported. Expand
Clinical studies of enteritis caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
TLDR
Patients who are given broad-spectrum antibiotics and whose gastric secretion is reduced are at high risk of MRSAEnteritis, and in the surgical ward, early diagnosis, treatment, and isolation are essential for patients with MRSA enteritis. Expand
Delta-like toxin produced by coagulase-negative staphylococci is associated with neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis
TLDR
It is concluded that delta-like toxin is elaborated in the bowels of some infants with Tox+ CONS, and its association with NEC suggests that such CONS are enteropathic. Expand
Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis associated with delta toxin-producing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
TLDR
Three preterm infants infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus who had a similar clinical syndrome, characterized by pustular dermatitis, bacteremia and necrotizing enterocolitis accompanied by gastric residua, abdominal distention, hematochezia and pneumatosis intestinalis are identified. Expand
Multiple intestinal ulcerations and perforations secondary to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus enteritis in infants.
TLDR
This entity is caused by multiple intestinal ulcerations and perforations secondary to MRSA enteritis in infants and has a high mortality rate because of its difficult diagnosis, however, early recognition can lead to successful treatment. Expand
Enterocolitis due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus--report of two cases.
TLDR
Two cases of postoperative enterocolitis due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) after gastrectomy were experienced and nosocomial infection was indicated. Expand
Prevalence of Enterotoxin Producing Staphylococcus aureus in Stools of Patients with Nosocomial Diarrhea
TLDR
The role of enterotoxigenic S. aureus in the pathogenesis of nosocomial and AAD needs further consideration and it might be necessary to investigate stool samples from patients with AAD/nosocomial diarrhea for S.Aureus on a routine basis. Expand
Nosocomial diarrhea
TLDR
Most of the sporadic cases of nosocomial diarrhea in pediatric patients can be managed on fluids and electrolytes, and Rota virus and E.C.C were the most common etiological agents. Expand
