Figure Lengend Snippet: Phylogenetic tree. Core-genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST)-based phylogenetic trees of Staphylococcus aureus (A) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (B) strains from BAHS patients. Trees illustrate allelic distances and clustering of strains based on sequence types (STs), highlighting potential clonal dissemination and associations with biofilm formation, antibiotic resistance profiles, and clinical outcomes (Holgers score >0, pain, debris).

Article Snippet: Reference strains included S. epidermidis ATCC 35984/12228 and S. aureus 15981 wild-type/Δ ica.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Estimating variance using Monte Carlo simulation introduced by fundamental experimental elements (Equation (7)) that impact EKMr determination by voltage sweep protocol. ( A ) Distribution of slope (‘ a ’ in y = ax + b ) variance ( s , Equation (7)) over 10,000 iterations, with mean (red) and median (green) lines (value ranges detailed in ). ( B ) Overlaid probability density distributions of onset voltage for three noise levels artificially added to y (100% = experimentally observed values): 10% (green), 50% (blue), and 100% (purple). Nominal onset voltage, as represented by a single dotted line, is the deterministic value calculated directly from the fitted regression line without considering any uncertainties from the slope, the intercept, in the x and y measurements. ( C ) Box plot comparison showing medians, quartiles, and outliers for another visualization of the onset voltage distribution. Dotted black line represents the nominal onset voltage. ( D ) Quantitative comparison of onset voltage values, (i) standard deviation (in V), (ii) mean onset voltage, and (ii) relative standard deviation (RSD, in %) across noise levels. All simulations are anchored by experimental data from S. epidermidis ATCC 35984 V2L. Raw data and source code can be found in .

Article Snippet: Using sample data of a spherical bacterial isolate ( Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 35984), a distribution of onset voltage was determined.
