Classification of Staphylococcus albus strains isolated from the urinary tract.
نویسنده
چکیده
Strains of Gram-positive, catalase-positive, coagulase-negative cocci isolated from urine specimens were classified by the system of Baird-Parker (1963). Urinary infections attributed to instrumentation or pathological abnormalities of the urinary tract were caused almost entirely by various Staphylococcus subgroups. These showed a wide range of antibiotic sensitivities, unrelated to subgroups and not obviously related to previous chemotherapy. Attacks of cystitis occurring in otherwise healthy women were usually caused by Micrococcus subgroup 3 strains.

متن کاملGenotypic Investigation of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains Isolated from Urinary Tract Infection
Background and purpose: Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have recently emerged as major causes of urinary tract infection (UTI). The aims of this study were to determine antibiotic susceptibility of S. aureus isolated from UTI and to detect the presence of mecA (causing resistance to methicillin) and SCCmec types. Materials and methods: In this cross sectional study, 44 S. au...
متن کاملPhylogenetic Classification of Escherichia coli Isolated from Urinary Tract Infections in the Central Regions of Guilan Province
Introduction: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common infectious diseases, and Escherichia coli is known as the most dominant causative agent of this infection in 90-80% of patients. There is not much information about the phylogenetic groups, types, and virulence factors of E. coli, causing UTIs from Iran. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibi...
متن کاملCoagulase-negative strains of staphylococcus possessing antigen 51 as agents of urinary infection.
A group of strains of Staphylococcus albus is described which produced neither coagulase nor haemolysin, was slightly sensitive or resistant to novobiocin, and sensitive to all other antibiotics, to sulphonamides, and to nitrofurantoin. The agglutinating antigen 51 was isolated from all strains from patients with urinary infections and abundant pyuria. In more than 40 cases studied it was not p...
متن کاملEvaluation of aminoglycoside resistance ant(2'')-Ia and ant(4')-IIa genes in Escherichia coli strains isolated from urinary tract infection
Background & aim: About 40% of women and 12% of men experience a urinary tract infection at least once in their lifetime. Aminoglycosides are very effective antimicrobial agents. The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli (E. coli) is becoming a global public health concern. The aim of this study was to determine the presence of ant(2'')-Ia and ant(4')-IIa genes in E....
