Colonization dynamics of antibiotic-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci in neonates.
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolated in neonatal late-onset sepsis are often antibiotic resistant. We analyzed CoNS from skin and feces of neonates during hospitalization. Antibiotic resistance of skin isolates increased during hospitalization, especially in Staphylococcus haemolyticus. Staphylococcus warneri showed low antibiotic resistance. Our data suggest that different CoNS spe...
متن کامل[Clinical significance of coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from neonates].
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical significance of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) isolated from newborns' infections at Neonatal Unit of Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu. METHODS The CNS strains isolated were identified and classified as clinically significant and contaminant, based on a series of clinical and laboratory data obtained from patients who stayed...
متن کاملAntibiotic susceptibility pattern and biofilm formation in coagulase negative staphylococci.
Introduction Coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) are commensals of non-sterile sites in humans and become pathogenic mostly when the host is immunocompromised by prior diseases or invasive surgical or related procedures [1]. Slime or biofilm production by CoNS has been identified as an important factor in the pathogenesis of infections as bacteria organized in biofilms are protected from th...
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...
متن کاملCoagulase-negative staphylococci.
The definition of the heterogeneous group of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) is still based on diagnostic procedures that fulfill the clinical need to differentiate between Staphylococcus aureus and those staphylococci classified historically as being less or nonpathogenic. Due to patient- and procedure-related changes, CoNS now represent one of the major nosocomial pathogens, with S. e...
