The use of antibiotics in animal production has been associated with the development and spread of antibiotic-resistant organisms including commensals. Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) species, which were until recently considered non-pathogenic, have been associated with opportunistic infections and high resistance to several antibiotics. This study sought to determine the prevalence, ...

coagulase-negative staphylococci (cons) have been identified as a major cause of nosocomial infections. nasal carriage of cons in nurses and physicians is known to be an important risk factor for potential hospital infections. this study was carried out to investigate the prevalence of nasal carriage of uncommon coagulase-negative staphylococci among nurse and physician staffs of tehran univers...

Background: Neonatal sepsis is a major cause of mortality and morbidity, especially in developing countries. The goal of the present study was to determine the bacterial etiology and antibiotic sensitivity patterns of neonatal sepsis. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 208 neonates admitted with clinically suspected sepsis over a period of 30 months. Sepsis was divided into ea...

Introduction. Neonatal septicemia is defined as infection in the first 28 days of life. Early-onset neonatal septicemia and late-onset neonatal septicemia are defined as illnesses appearing from birth to three days and from four to twenty-eight days postnatally, respectively. Methods. In this cross-sectional study, blood samples from the suspected infants were collected and processed in the bac...

Abstract Aim To compare the microbiology organisms responsible for PJI in patients who underwent two-stage revision of infected primary knee replacement with oncological endoprostheses lower limb a single institution. Method 118 were treated 2-stage surgery arthroplasty and between 1999 2019. 74 had 44 to eradicate infection tumour resection. All microbiological data from first stage sampling w...

The antibacterial activity of NVP-PDF386 (VRC4887), a novel peptide deformylase (PDF) inhibitor, was tested against over 1000 recent clinical isolates collected during 2001 and 2002. The MIC(50/90) (mg/L) results for NVP-PDF386 (VRC4887) were: Staphylococcus aureus (SA) 0.5/1, coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) 0.5/1, Streptococcus pneumoniae 0.25/0.5, other streptococci 0.25/0.5, enteroco...

This investigation reported for the first time the occurrence of intramammary infections caused by Staphylococcus in primiparous replacement goats before parturition and the persistence of clinical Staphylococcus aureus infection during the lactation period. Subclinical infections, mainly caused by coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS), did not persist during lactation. Genotyping analysis in...

background: coagulase negative staphylococci (cons) are one of the most common bacteria found on human skin and on mucous membranes as a component of normal flora. the presence of cons in clinical specimens is frequently associated with an infectious aetiology or contamination. objectives: we aimed to evaluate cons species distribution and susceptibility patterns in specimens obtained from clin...
