Staphylococcus saprophyticus hemagglutinin binds fibronectin.
Attachment of microorganisms to host tissue is regarded as an important step in the pathogenesis of infections. Staphylococcus saprophyticus adheres to various epithelial cells and hemagglutinates sheep erythrocytes. The hemagglutinin has been identified, but a human target for this surface protein is still not known. In our report, we show that hemagglutinating strains of S. saprophyticus bind...
متن کاملStaphylococcus saprophyticus Bacteremia originating from Urinary Tract Infections: A Case Report and Literature Review
Staphylococcus saprophyticus is a common pathogen of acute urinary tract infection (UTI) in young females. However, S. saprophyticus bacteremia originating from UTI is very rare and has not been reported in Korea. We report a case of S. saprophyticus bacteremia from UTI in a 60-year-old female with a urinary stone treated successfully with intravenous ciprofloxacin, and review the cases of S. s...
متن کاملUrinary tract infection in young women, with special reference to Staphylococcus saprophyticus.
Acute urinary tract infections in young women attending a clinic for sexually transmitted diseases were caused by the same bacteria, in the same proportions, as those that caused infections in women students. Staphylococcus saprophyticus biotype 3 (formerly called Micrococcus subgroup 3) was the commonest organism after coliform bacilli and caused about 30% of the infections. It was uncommon in...
متن کاملIntrinsic novobiocin resistance in Staphylococcus saprophyticus.
Intrinsic novobiocin resistance in Staphylococcus saprophyticus was associated with expression of a novobiocin-resistant form of the drug target protein (GyrB). Site-directed mutagenesis established that resistance depends upon the presence of two specific amino acid residues in GyrB: a glycine at position 85 and a lysine at position 140.
متن کاملIncidence of novobiocin resistant coagulase negative staphylococcus saprophyticus in urinary tract infection in UITH, Ilorin, Nigeria
Coagulase negative Staphylococcus has long been considered of little significance as a urinary tract infection. The role of novobiocin resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus saprophyticus in infection of the urinary tract of women of childbearing age (14-40 years; mean age = 27 years; outpatients) was investigated. Three hundred female patients between the age bracket of 14 and 40 years (m...
