Staphylococcus chromogenes, a Coagulase-Negative Staphylococcus Species That Can Clot Plasma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Staphylococcus chromogenes is one of the main coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from mastitis of dairy cows. We describe S. chromogenes isolates that can clot plasma. Since the main pathogen causing mastitis is coagulase-positive Staphylococcus aureus, the coagulase-positive phenotype of S. chromogenes described here can easily lead to misidentification.

A longitudinal study in 3 dairy herds was conducted to profile the distribution of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CNS) species causing bovine intramammary infection (IMI) using molecular identification and to gain more insight in the pathogenic potential of CNS as a group and of the most prevalent species causing IMI. Monthly milk samples from 25 cows in each herd as well as samples from cl...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Staphylococcus chromogenes Strain MU 970, Isolated from a Case of Chronic Bovine Mastitis
Coagulase-negative staphylococcal species are a common cause of subclinical bovine mastitis, with Staphylococcus chromogenes being one of the most frequently identified species in these cases. The draft genome sequence of an S. chromogenes isolate (MU 970) recovered from the milk of a cow with a chronic intramammary infection is reported here.

A total of 353 coagulase-negative staphylococcus (CNS) isolates from infected bovine mammary glands were tested for cytolysin production by using the synergistic hemolysin assay (SHA). Overall, 34.6% of CNS isolates were SHA positive. Human-associated, coagulase-negative staphylococcal species contained the greatest number of SHA-positive strains. Milk leukocyte levels expressed as somatic cell...

متن کاملBovine-associated CNS species resist phagocytosis differently
BACKGROUND Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) cause usually subclinical or mild clinical bovine mastitis, which often remains persistent. Symptoms are usually mild, mostly only comprising slight changes in the appearance of milk and possibly slight swelling. However, clinical mastitis with severe signs has also been reported. The reasons for the differences in clinical expression are largel...
