Scientists at Stanford are developing a painless, topical vaccine using a common skin bacterium to trigger immunity.

The researchers tested these low-level electrical pulses to determine what effect they would have on Staphylococcus epidermidis. This bacteria is a common cause of wound infections, since it’s ...

Staphylococcus epidermidis exhibits different patterns of colonization to skin epithelial layers, which may contribute to long-term colonization. The microbial surface components recognizing ...

The wound is the dark hole in the middle of the image (1). The immune cells are blue (2), and a kind of common skin bacterium called Staphylococcus epidermidis is shown in green (3). The white and red ...

Instead of injections, they are investigating whether a common skin bacterium, Staphylococcus epidermidis, could deliver vaccines through a simple topical cream. The discovery challenges long-held ...
