Staphylococcal Species and Disease Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6176
The Staphylococcal Species and Disease Model from Jaincolab is a three-dimensional teaching model that illustrates key Staphylococcus species and the diseases associated with them.
It is used in microbiology and medical courses to explain how coagulase status differentiates staphylococcal species and correlates with their disease-causing potential.
What the Concept States
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Staphylococcus aureus | Coagulase-positive; causes skin and soft tissue infections, food poisoning, toxic shock syndrome, and endocarditis |
| Staphylococcus epidermidis | Coagulase-negative; a skin commensal that causes infections associated with implanted medical devices |
| Staphylococcus saprophyticus | Coagulase-negative; a common cause of urinary tract infections in young women |
| Coagulase Test | Differentiates S. aureus (coagulase-positive) from other staphylococcal species (coagulase-negative) |
| Toxin-Mediated Disease | Enterotoxins cause food poisoning and TSST-1 toxin causes toxic shock syndrome in S. aureus infections |
Key Features
- Illustrates key Staphylococcus species and their disease associations
- Shows the role of the coagulase test in species differentiation
- Explains toxin-mediated staphylococcal diseases
- Durable, exam-oriented construction for repeated classroom use
- Compact benchtop format suitable for laboratories and lecture halls
