Effect of borate on the growth of coagulase-positive and coagulase-negative staphylococci.
نویسنده
چکیده
Of 235 strains of coagulase-positive Staphylococcus aureus studied, 221 or 94% were inhibited by 1.5 x 10(-8)m sodium borate, whereas only 6 of 57 (10.5%) coagulase-negative strains were inhibited by the same borate concentration. Four of the six coagulase-negatives were food poisoning strains and one was a hospital pathogen. Borate sensitivity was found to correlate well with lysozyme and alpha-toxin production by coagulase-positive strains.

Background and Aim: Although vancomycine is used for the treatment of methicillin resistant Staphylococci, but vancomycine alone might not be effective for the treatment of methicillin resistant Staphylococci in compromised host. In the same time antimicrobial activity of cefepim on gram positive bacteria especially Staphylococci is well known. In this study the synergism effect of cefepim and ...

Background: Staphylococci as a micro-organism, has the most importance to cause nosocomial infections, particularly in patients with indwelling catheters or other medical devices. Unfortunately 90% of Staphylococci isolated from the nosocomial infections are resistant to methicillin, and methicillin resistance strains are also resistant to a wide range of antimicrobial drugs, therefore detectin...

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...
