Encapsulation, slime production and surface hydrophobicity of coagulase-negative staphylococci
Infections associated with prosthetic implants or medical devices are most commonly caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) [1]. The ability of CNS to produce slime has been suggested to play a critical role in the adhesion onto surfaces of implants and medical devices [2] and in the course of medical device-associated infections [3]. Staphylococcus aureus, the pathogenic counterpart o...
متن کاملNew method for detecting slime production by coagulase negative staphylococci.
An alternative method for detecting the production of slime by coagulase negative staphylococci was compared with the routinely used Christensen method on 124 isolates of coagulase negative staphylococci from carriage sites, blood cultures, and infected peritoneal dialysis fluids. The alternative method requires the use of a specially prepared solid medium--brain heart infusion broth, supplemen...
متن کاملCoagulase-negative strains of Staphylococcus pyogenes.
The isolation of two coagulase-negative strains of Staphylococcus pyogenes is reported, and their biochemical characteristics are given. The reliability of coagulase tests alone in the identification of Staph. pyogenes is discussed, and the deoxyribonuclease test is recommended as a useful confirmatory test.

The crescents were accompanied by foci of fibrinoid necrosis with endocapillary and extracapillary fibrin. Tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis were absent. Interstitial inflammation was present, focal and accompanied by tubular degenerative changes. There was evidence of necrotizing vasculitis. IF revealed granular, segmental to global glomerular capillary wall positivity for IgG, kappa a...
متن کاملOrigin of the putrescine-producing ability of the coagulase-negative bacterium Staphylococcus epidermidis 2015B.
A multiplex PCR method, aimed at the detection of genes associated with biogenic amine production, identified the odc gene encoding ornithine decarboxylase in 1 of 15 strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis. The ability of the positive strain, S. epidermidis 2015B, to produce putrescine in vitro was demonstrated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In this strain, the odc gene was de...
