Characterization of clinically significant strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci.
On occasion, a patient may have two or more clinical cultures yielding a coagulase-negative staphylococcus If these multiple isolates have the same phenotype, one might conclude that the same strain was reisolated from the patient, indicating its persistent and pathological presence. We examined the validity of this conclusion when we applied a number of characterizing systems to a collection o...
متن کاملSpeciation and Antibiogram of Clinically Significant Coagulase Negative Staphylococci
Background: Coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS), once considered as non-pathogenic commensal of skin and mucus membrane have emerged as important pathogen. Aim: The aim of this study is to determine species of CoNS and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of species obtained from various clinical specimens. Materials and Methods: A total of 79 Coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolate...
متن کاملSimple and economical method for speciation and resistotyping of clinically significant coagulase negative staphylococci.
An attempt was made to speciate 102 clinically significant isolates of coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) by a practical scheme adapted from various references. This scheme utilizes slide and tube coagulase test, urease test ornithine decarboxylase, novobiocin susceptibility and aerobic acid from mannose for assigning species group. Inclusion of one or two additional tests in a species gro...
متن کاملClinically significant Coagulase Negative Staphylococci and their antibiotic resistance pattern in a tertiary care hospital.
OBJECTIVES To identify various species of coagulase negative staphylococci involved in neonatal septicaemia and determine their antimicrobial resistance pattern. METHODS The prospective descriptive study was carried out from January 2012 to October 2013, at Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah, Saudi Arabia, and comprised clinical isolates of coagulase negative staphylococci recovered from the bloo...
متن کاملBiotyping coagulase-negative staphylococci.
The biochemical profiles obtained with Staph-Ident (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.) panels were combined with the results of adherence and synergistic hemolysis tests to define biotypes among 1,064 clinical isolates representing eight species of coagulase-negative staphylococci. The 672 isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis were aligned in 69 of 144 potential biotypes in our scheme because...
