Coagulase-negative staphylococci causing endocarditis after cardiac surgery.
The laboratory findings in seven cases of endocarditis caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci are presented. The usefulness of biochemical characterization of the strains in diagnosis and the selection of antibiotics for prophylaxis and treatment are discussed.
متن کاملGenotypic diversity of coagulase-negative staphylococci causing endocarditis: a global perspective.
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are important causes of infective endocarditis (IE), but their microbiological profiles are poorly described. We performed DNA target sequencing and susceptibility testing for 91 patients with definite CNS IE who were identified from the International Collaboration on Endocarditis-Microbiology, a large, multicenter, multinational consortium. A hierarchy of...

include hemodialysis, peripheral catheters, and central intravascular catheters, as well as invasive procedures such as cardiac catheterization and prostate surgery. It is not surprising that the affected patient population is the elderly and those with comorbid illnesses. Thus, this study and others call attention to the clinical scenarios that are associated with this disease. This study is t...
متن کاملBiotyping coagulase-negative staphylococci.
The biochemical profiles obtained with Staph-Ident (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.) panels were combined with the results of adherence and synergistic hemolysis tests to define biotypes among 1,064 clinical isolates representing eight species of coagulase-negative staphylococci. The 672 isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis were aligned in 69 of 144 potential biotypes in our scheme because...
متن کاملCoagulase-negative staphylococci.
The definition of the heterogeneous group of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) is still based on diagnostic procedures that fulfill the clinical need to differentiate between Staphylococcus aureus and those staphylococci classified historically as being less or nonpathogenic. Due to patient- and procedure-related changes, CoNS now represent one of the major nosocomial pathogens, with S. e...
