Isolation and Species Identification of Coagulase Negative Staphylococci Isolated from Different Sources
ثبت نشده
چکیده
CNS are widespread in nature and formerly regarded as harmless inhabitants of the skin and mucosal linings are now recognized as major cause of significant clinical infections. Correct identification of CNS species has become important in clinical laboratories, since several species have been recognized as potential pathogens, especially in a nosocomial setting (Layer et al., 2006). CNS are also involved in animal diseases and several studies have shown that domestic animals may serve as a source of transmission of potentially pathogenic microorganisms. This chapter describes the study on species distribution of CNS isolates from different sources.

Isolation, Identification, and Profile of Antibiotic Resistance of Bacteria in Patients with Cancer
Background: Blood stream infection is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with cancer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of aerobic and anaerobic-bacteremia in hospital inpatients with cancer and to determine the antibiotic resistance profile in isolated organisms in Kerman, southeast Iran. Methods: Total of 240 blood cultures from 136 patients w...
متن کاملA study of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolated from bovine mastitis for the presence of penicillin and methicillin resistance-encoding genes in the north west of Iran
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are often associated with bovine mastitis and may be resistant to antimicrobial therapy. The aim of the current study was to investigate the presence of blaZ (responsible for penicillin resistance) and mecA (responsible for methicillin resistance) genes among 108 CoNS belonging to 9 different species isolated from bovine mastitis in seven dairy herds (H1-...

Background and objective: The treatment of bacterial infections especially of the family Staphylococcaceae is a significant health burden that has led to economic losses, and high morbidity and mortality rates globally. This study aimed at the isolation and characterization of coagulase-positive, methicillin, and multi-drug-resistant Staphylococci isolated from wounds of patients. Methods: Fo...
متن کاملPrevalence and antimicrobial susceptibilities of coagulasenegative Staphylococci isolated from mammary secretions in pregnant Holstein heifers
Mammary secretions of 913 quarters from 229 pregnant Holstein heifers were obtained aseptically to determine the prevalence of coagulase-negative Staphylococci isolated during periparturient period. Quarter samples were collected 14 to 10 days before expected parturition. Analysis of culture data indicated that 78.5% (717/913) of samples were negative, 20.5% (187/913) contained coagulase-negati...
متن کاملIsolation of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci from chickens.
Methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci were isolated from the nares and skin of 1- to 8-week-old healthy chickens in three flocks from a farm. Isolation of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci was positive for 72 (25.7%) of the 280 chickens tested, with the frequency varying from 2.2 to 100% according to flock. A total of 45 appropriate isolates were selected a...
