Identification of Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci in some edible nuts
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, 217 edible nut samples have been investigated regarding Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS). S. aureus was isolated in 26 (11.98%) samples, whereas CNS were isolated in 98 (45.16%) samples. Number of samples for different isolated CNS species was as follows: S. arlettae 19 (8.76%), S. saprophyticus 14 (6.45%), S. xylosus 12 (5.53%), S. epidermis 11 (5.07%), S. hominis 11 (5.07%), S. simulans 9 (4.15%), S. haemolyticus 7 (3.23%), S. lentus 6 (2.76%), S. equorum 4 (1.84%), S. sciuri 2 (0.92%), S. warneri 2 (0.92%) and S. capitis subsp. capitis 1 (0.46%).

The emergence of Staphylococcus strains resistant to methicillin occurred shortly after the introduction of methicillin into clinical use . Resistance to methicillin in clinical isolates of Staphylococci has been explained by the production of a characteristic penicillin-binding protein (PBP) , designated PBP2a, that has a decrea...

Seventeen strains of ten different species of coagulase-negative staphylococci were shown to interact with collagen, laminin, fibronectin, and vitronectin immobilized on latex beads. Different species of coagulase-negative staphylococci have different capacities to agglutinate proteins. Cells of 18 strains of Staphylococcus haemolyticus reacted more strongly than did cells of 18 Staphylococcus ...

Four commercially available rapid agglutination tests for the identification of Staphylococcus aureus were compared with the tube coagulase test for the identification of 300 methicillin-resistant isolates of staphylococci. Isolates tested included 207 methicillin-resistant S. aureus and 93 coagulase-negative staphylococci, collected from five medical centers. Strain variability was documented ...

Background: Antibiotics called macrolide, lincosamide and streptogramin B (MLSB) are being used to treat staphylococci infections. Multiple pathways that impart resistance to MLSB antibiotics have been confirmed to cause clinical failure. The present work aimed to determine the frequency of constitutive and inducible clindamycin resistant among coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolates o...

Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococcal isolates from various geographic areas in the United States were examined by using a conjugative transfer gene DNA probe in dot-blot hybridization assays. Of 175 S. aureus isolates, 47 (27%) hybridized with the probe, while 24 of 208 (11.5%) coagulase-negative staphylococci hybridized. However, among methicillin-resistant S. aureus 52%...
