Staphylococcus aureus: The Persistent Pathogen
Abstract
STAPHYLOCOCCUS aureus has persisted and is now resurging as an important hospital and community pathogen.1 In recent data gathered by the Centers for Disease Control, Staph. aureus finished second behind Escherichia coli as a cause of all types of hospital-acquired infections and essentially equaled that organism in causing hospital-acquired bacteremias.2 Although the exact incidence of community-acquired Staph. aureus sepsis is not known, it continues to be the most common cause of serious progressive skin, soft-tissue, and post-traumatic infections in that setting. Staph. aureus is marvelously equipped as a pathogen, containing biochemical machinery that enables it to colonize quickly and invade . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
