Extracellular Polysaccharide Production and Biofilm Formation by Coagulase-negative Staphylococci
Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CoNS) form a part of the skin flora and commonly cause nosocomial bloodstream and catheterrelated infections. According to their relatively low virulence, it is important to detect the virulence factors of clinical isolates. The production of extracellular polymers and formation of biofilms belong to virulence factors. We studied clinical isolates of CoNS and c...
متن کاملCoagulase-negative staphylococcus—oftentimes a virulent masquerader
The crescents were accompanied by foci of fibrinoid necrosis with endocapillary and extracapillary fibrin. Tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis were absent. Interstitial inflammation was present, focal and accompanied by tubular degenerative changes. There was evidence of necrotizing vasculitis. IF revealed granular, segmental to global glomerular capillary wall positivity for IgG, kappa a...
متن کاملEffects of subinhibitory concentrations of vancomycin or cefamandole on biofilm production by coagulase-negative staphylococci.
The density of the biofilm layer produced on a plastic surface by 23 clinical isolates and 1 reference strain of slime-positive, coagulase-negative staphylococci was measured following growth in subinhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs) of cefamandole or vancomycin ranging from 2 to 0.008 micrograms/ml. All strains were susceptible to less than or equal to 2 micrograms of each agent per ml. The m...
متن کاملCoagulase-negative strains of Staphylococcus pyogenes.
The isolation of two coagulase-negative strains of Staphylococcus pyogenes is reported, and their biochemical characteristics are given. The reliability of coagulase tests alone in the identification of Staph. pyogenes is discussed, and the deoxyribonuclease test is recommended as a useful confirmatory test.
متن کاملAntimicrobial Resistance Profile of Planktonic and Biofilm Cells of Staphylococcus aureus and Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci
The objective of the present study was to determine the antimicrobial resistance profile of planktonic and biofilm cells of Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS). Two hundred Staphylococcus spp. strains were studied, including 50 S. aureus and 150 CoNS strains (50 S. epidermidis, 20 S. haemolyticus, 20 S. warneri, 20 S. hominis, 20 S. lugdunensis, and 20 S. saprophyt...
