Evaluation of trehalose-mannitol broth for differentiation of Staphylococcus epidermidis from other coagulase-negative staphylococcal species.
Trehalose-mannitol agar and various broth formulations thereof were evaluated for the differentiation of Staphylococcus epidermidis from other common coagulase-negative staphylococcal species isolated from human blood cultures. While this differentiation was accurately made on trehalose-mannitol agar in 18 h, modification of the medium to a broth formulation containing 2% each trehalose and man...
متن کاملStaphylococcus pettenkoferi sp. nov., a novel coagulase-negative staphylococcal species isolated from human clinical specimens.
Five coagulase-negative, novobiocin-susceptible staphylococcal strains were isolated from human blood cultures in different German and Belgian medical facilities. A novel species, 'Staphylococcus pettenkoferi' was proposed recently to accommodate two of these strains (B3117(T) and A6664), although the name was not validly published. All five strains belonged to the genus Staphylococcus because ...
متن کاملIn vitro activities of arylomycin natural-product antibiotics against Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative staphylococci.
The arylomycins are a class of natural-product antibiotics that act via the inhibition of type I signal peptidase (SPase), and we have found in diverse bacteria that their activity is limited by the presence of a resistance-conferring Pro residue in SPase that reduces inhibitor binding. We have also demonstrated that Staphylococcus epidermidis, which lacks this Pro residue, is extremely suscept...
متن کاملPhenotypic and genotypic characterization of coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) other than Staphylococcus epidermidis isolated from ocular infections.
PURPOSE The clinical significance of many species belonging to coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) other than Staphylococcus epidermidis has been increasingly recognized. The present study attempted the characterization of non-S. epidermidis CoNS isolates of ocular origin. METHODS The isolates were characterized phenotypically by analytical profile index (API) and genotypically by fluores...
متن کاملInvestigation of linezolid resistance in Staphylococcus epidermidis: first reported linezolid resistant coagulase negative staphylococcus in Turkey.
Linezolid is a member of oxazolidinons and it inhibits protein synthesis at the initiation step. In this step, formation of 70S complex occurs by association of 50S ribosomal subunit, and 30S initiation complex, which is made of 30S ribosomal subunit, mRNA, and methionine carrying tRNA. Linezolid prevents this formation by binding the 50S subunit (1–3). Although it is a new agent, resistance ha...
