Misidentification of mucoid variants of Staphylococcus aureus by standard laboratory techniques.
Ten atypical strains of Staphylococcus aureus were examined and compared with previously characterized S. aureus strains. Five of the strains were sent to two hospital microbiology laboratories for identification. All of the mucoid strains were misidentified when tested by standardized coagulase, DNase, and mannitol fermentation criteria, as well as by an automated identification method, but we...
متن کاملChromogenesis by variants of Staphylococcus aureus.
Chromogenesis in Staphylococcus aureus has received considerable attention, although today it is generally accepted that pigmentation in this organism is of little taxonomic value. Numerous carotenoid pigments from this organism have been characterized (B. Sobin and G. L. Stahly, J. Bacteriol. 44:265, 1942). The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether the variations in pigmentati...

15 صفحه اولThe Effect of Biosurfactant of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae on Biofilms Produced by Staphylococcus Aureus, Epidermidis and Saprophyticus: A Laboratory Study
Background and Objectives: Biosurfactants are amphiphilic molecules produced by microorganisms that due to surfactant activity, have several applications in different industries such as cleaning, emulsification, foaming and dispersion. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of biosurfactant extracted from saccharomycess cerevisiae on biofilm formation of staphylococcus aureus (PTC...
متن کاملMicrocolonies (G-variants) of Staphylococcus aureus.
The persistence or recurrence of bacteria in patients treated with appropriate antimicrobial therapy continues to be a perplexing problem in clinical medicine. Incomplete bactericidal capacity of the host is probably a contributing factor, but of equal importance may be the ability of bacteria to adapt by acquiring a lowered metabolism and a reduced rate of replica-tion. Since most antimocrobia...
