Micrococcaceae from the uinary tract in pregnancy.
نویسنده
چکیده
Gram-positive, catalase-positive cocci (Micrococcaceae) have been obtained from the bladder by suprapubic aspiration of urine in antenatal and postnatal patients. These bacteria have been compared with similar organisms isolated from midstream specimens of urine when the suprapubic specimen was sterile. Fourteen (70%) of 20 organisms isolated from the bladder were micrococci and six (30%) were staphylococci. In contrast 17 (85%) of 20 similar organisms contaminating midstream urine specimens were staphylococci and only three (15%) were micrococci.

Characterization of Micrococcaceae strains isolated from the human urogenital tract by the conventional scheme and a micromethod.
Two hundred and twelve Micrococcaceae isolates were obtained from 82 men with nongonococcal urethritis, 24 women with vaginitis, and 54 girls with vulvovaginitis. Identification and biotyping of these strains were carried out by using the simplified scheme of Kloos and Schleifer (W. E. Kloos and K. H. Schleifer, J. Clin. Microbiol. 1:82-88, 1975) and the commercially available API Staph test (D...

متن کاملP-83: Immunological Evaluation of Ectopic Pregnancy with Emphasis on TLR5
Background: The presence of immune system within the female reproductive tract is increasingly being recognized as an important element for maintaining host protection and promoting reproductive functions. The Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs) family plays an important role in innate immune responses against microbial pathogens within the genital tract. These receptors recognize distinct pathogen-asso...
متن کاملP-82: The Role of Toll-Like Receptor 2 in Ectopic Pregnancy
Background: The innate immune system is our first line of defense against invading pathogens. Toll–like receptors (TLRs) have been identified as a key role in mediating the function of innate immune system which bridges the gap between innate and adaptive immunity. For example, TLR2 is able to act as a homodimer to recognize lipoteichoic acids of Gram-positive bacteria but as a heterodimer with...
متن کاملCorrelation of prenatal vitamin D deficiency and neonatal urinary tract infection
Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common infection during pregnancy and different age groups of children, including the neonatal period. It comprises 1/3 of bacterial infections in newborn infants, with a prevalence of 0.1-1% in term and 4-25% in preterm neonates. UTI occurs more commonly in male neonates (M/F: 2-6/1) for the higher incidence of structural abnormalities (1,2). Urin...
