clinging to tubing (as in that used for intravenous feeding, etc.), prosthetic devices, and other non-living surfaces, S. epidermidis is the organism that most often contaminates devices that provide direct access to the bloodstream.
You are dehydrated and you need to increase your fluid intake.
A urinary tract infection can cause urine to feel warmer than usual. If there is pain, it could be a sexually transmitted infection.
Sp. Gravity as 1.030 Urine Analysis means
It means that it is nearly pure water with very, very little else in it.
No, Staphylococcus epidermidis is not an endospore-forming bacteria. Endospores are a survival mechanism produced by certain bacterial species, such as Bacillus and Clostridium, but not by Staphylococcus epidermidis.

Bacillus subtilis is the largest among the three organisms mentioned - Staphylococcus epidermidis, Bacillus subtilis, and Escherichia coli. Bacillus subtilis is a rod-shaped bacterium that is larger in size compared to the spherical Staphylococcus epidermidis and Escherichia coli.
Staphylococcus epidermidis is generally smaller in size compared to E. coli. Staphylococcus epidermidis typically measures about 0.5 to 1.0 micrometers in diameter, while E. coli is usually around 1.0 to 3.0 micrometers in length and 0.5 micrometers in diameter. Thus, Staphylococcus epidermidis is considered to be smaller overall.
Metabolic tests such as an oxidase test can be used to differentiate S epidermidis and E faecalis. Such a test can be conducted by adding H2O2 to the colony. The result for S aureus will be negative and the result for S epidermidis will be positive.
S. epidermidis is a Gram-positive bacterium. It appears purple when subjected to a Gram stain due to its thick peptidoglycan layer in the cell wall.
staphylococcus epidermidis
Staphylococcus epidermidis typically forms small, white or cream-colored colonies with a circular shape on agar plates. They are generally smooth and opaque in appearance.
I had scant urothelial cells present in my urine test. What does this mean?
no it does not.
Yes, Staphylococcus epidermidis can grow in salt, but it has a preference for moderate salt concentrations similar to those found on the skin. High salt concentrations can inhibit its growth.
