Characterization of clinically significant strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci.
On occasion, a patient may have two or more clinical cultures yielding a coagulase-negative staphylococcus If these multiple isolates have the same phenotype, one might conclude that the same strain was reisolated from the patient, indicating its persistent and pathological presence. We examined the validity of this conclusion when we applied a number of characterizing systems to a collection o...
متن کاملSpeciation and Antibiogram of Clinically Significant Coagulase Negative Staphylococci
Background: Coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS), once considered as non-pathogenic commensal of skin and mucus membrane have emerged as important pathogen. Aim: The aim of this study is to determine species of CoNS and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of species obtained from various clinical specimens. Materials and Methods: A total of 79 Coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolate...
متن کاملSimple and economical method for speciation and resistotyping of clinically significant coagulase negative staphylococci.
An attempt was made to speciate 102 clinically significant isolates of coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) by a practical scheme adapted from various references. This scheme utilizes slide and tube coagulase test, urease test ornithine decarboxylase, novobiocin susceptibility and aerobic acid from mannose for assigning species group. Inclusion of one or two additional tests in a species gro...
متن کاملFive-hour novobiocin test for differentiation of coagulase-negative staphylococci.
A 5-h broth disk test, read visually for growth or no growth to determine resistance of coagulase-negative staphylococci to 1.6 micrograms of novobiocin per ml, was evaluated as a rapid test for the presumptive identification of Staphylococcus saprophyticus. The correlation with an overnight disk diffusion test was 100%.
متن کاملSpecies identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci from urinary tract isolates.
A new scheme for identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci was applied to 138 consecutive urinary isolates of coagulase-negative staphylococci. The most common species were Staphylococcus epidermidis (53%), S. hominis (12%), and S. haemolyticus (10%). S. saprophyticus comprised only 5%. The disk method for antibiotic susceptibility for all species grouped together disclosed resistance ...
