In vitro activities of arylomycin natural-product antibiotics against Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative staphylococci.
The arylomycins are a class of natural-product antibiotics that act via the inhibition of type I signal peptidase (SPase), and we have found in diverse bacteria that their activity is limited by the presence of a resistance-conferring Pro residue in SPase that reduces inhibitor binding. We have also demonstrated that Staphylococcus epidermidis, which lacks this Pro residue, is extremely suscept...
متن کاملPhenotypic and genotypic characterization of coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) other than Staphylococcus epidermidis isolated from ocular infections.
PURPOSE The clinical significance of many species belonging to coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) other than Staphylococcus epidermidis has been increasingly recognized. The present study attempted the characterization of non-S. epidermidis CoNS isolates of ocular origin. METHODS The isolates were characterized phenotypically by analytical profile index (API) and genotypically by fluores...
متن کاملRapid, automated identification of novobiocin-resistant, coagulase-negative staphylococci.
A modified automated method that uses the MS-2 system (Abbott Laboratories, Diagnostics Div., Irving, Tex.) to verify the reaction of coagulase-negative staphylococci to novobiocin is described. This technique permits the testing of a great number of specimens in an average time of 99 min and results in a 100% match with the traditional method of culturing.
متن کاملIdentification and detection of methicillin resistance in non-epidermidis coagulase-negative staphylococci.
The NCCLS (2004) presented a new methodology to detect, by disk-diffusion agar, oxacillin-resistance using a cefoxitin disk. We identified coagulase-negative staphylococci (SCoN) to the species level and compared the use of cefoxitin disks (30 microg) with oxacillin disks (1 microg), agar dilution (minimum inhibitory concentration of oxacillin) and mecA gene detection in isolates of coagulase-n...
متن کاملEvaluation of trehalose-mannitol broth for differentiation of Staphylococcus epidermidis from other coagulase-negative staphylococcal species.
Trehalose-mannitol agar and various broth formulations thereof were evaluated for the differentiation of Staphylococcus epidermidis from other common coagulase-negative staphylococcal species isolated from human blood cultures. While this differentiation was accurately made on trehalose-mannitol agar in 18 h, modification of the medium to a broth formulation containing 2% each trehalose and man...
