Species distribution of coagulase-negative staphylococcal isolates at a community hospital and implications for selection of staphylococcal identification procedures.
A total of 499 coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) were isolated from a variety of clinical specimens at a community hospital. Ten different species and many strains of CoNS were identified. Staphylococcus epidermidis was the most common isolate. The species distribution suggests that S. saprophyticus and, to a lesser extent, S. haemolyticus may be important in urinary tract infections. S. ...
متن کاملCoagulase-negative staphylococcal peritonitis: outcomes of cephalosporin-resistant strains.
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) peritonitis and subsequent relapses are undesirable complications for patients requiring home peritoneal dialysis. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) remain a common cause of peritonitis. Strains of CoNS are emerging that are resistant to cephalosporins. It has been suggested that, if sensitivity testing shows resistance to cephalosporin but the patient is improvin...
متن کاملIncreasing Incidence Of Coagulase - Negative Staphylococcal Sepsis - An Emerging Challenges
IntroductionCoagulase negative Staphylococcus (CoNS), being a part of the commensal flora, have long remained neglected as mere contaminants till their recently reported increased rate of isolation, evidenced their potential as nosocomial pathogens. Treatment is difficult due to confusion in pathogenecity and multi-drug resistance. Aim of the study was to to identify the different species of Co...
متن کاملDrug-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococcal endophthalmitis following dexamethasone intravitreal implant
A 60-year-old female came to our hospital with defective vision due to persistent diabetic macular edema and was treated with intravitreal ozurdex implant in the right eye. Three days later, the patient presented with diminution of vision, ocular pain, congestion, and hypopyon with no fundus view. B-scan ultrasonography showed vitritis, and diagnosis of endophthalmitis was made. Subsequently, 2...
متن کاملPurification of staphylococcal coagulase.
Correlation between the pathogenicity of certain staphylococci and their ability to produce coagulase has led to extensive studies of the clotting enzyme. Walston (1935) precipitated the clotting substance from cell-free filtrates of appropriate staphylococcal cultures by the use of ethanol, acetic acid, or ammonium sulfate. Walker et al. (1948) partially purified staphylocoagulase by repeated ...
