Instructor, Department of pathobiology, Faculty of health, Tabriz University of medical sciences Abstract Background: The most common microorganism in blood cultures is Coagulase Negative Staphylococci (CNSt). Exact diagnosis of bacterial agents in blood and their antibiograms are an important value in septicemia therapy. The purpose of the present study is to identify and determine antibiotic susceptibility of CNSt isolated from blood in children. Materials and methods: Samples were collected from 270 patients with CNSt positive blood cultures during 2 years (2003-2004) in pediatric center of Tabriz by routine microbiological methods. The disc agar diffusion technique (kriby-Bauer) was used to evaluate the susceptibility test of CNSt. Results: In our study mean age of patients was 10 month. 54.4% and 45.6% were male and female repectively. In 270 CNSt, the resistance to Penicillin, Ampicilline, Cephalexin, Ceftizoxime, Ceftriaxon and Vancomycin were respectively 98.1%, 95.9%, 62.3%, 55.9%, 53.7% and 2.6%. Conclusion: Antibiotic susceptibility of CNSt is not predictable and multiresistant strains are common. Vancomycin is the drug of choice, since only 2.6% resistant CNSt were noticed.

Antibiotic 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...

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...

OBJECTIVE Antibiotic resistance is a global problem and is more prevalent in developing countries. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are recognized as important pathogen for nosocomial infections. This study was carried out to identify CoNS in various clinical specimens and to determine its antimicrobial susceptibility pattern. METHODS A total of 2989 specimens of blood, pus and wound s...

Antibiotic resistance of coagulase-negative staphylococci and micrococci.

Five hundred and seventy strains of Gram-positive, catalase-positive, coagulasenegative cocci from various sources were classified on the basis of their ability to grow anaerobically and to ferment mannitol. Five groups were distinguished. The frequency of strains classified in the five groups varied with the source. Only 26% of the strains were sensitive to all the nine antibiotics used in the...
