| Cultures revealed coagulase-negative staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus on pagers from all health care worker groups. |
| Some were injected with streptococci, some with staphylococci, and some with Clostridium septique. |
| They concluded that staphylococci and enterococci can survive for extended periods of time on materials commonly worn by health care workers. |
| The only organisms isolated were diphtheroids, coagulase-negative staphylococci, and micrococci. |
| Unlike staphylococci, which tend to cause localised infections such as abscesses, streptococci are essentially organisms that spread. |
| Other bacteria that commonly cause conjunctivitis include staphylococci, streptococci and haemophilus bacteria. |
