Introduction. Coagulase-negative staphylococci have been recognized both as emerging pathogens and contaminants of clinical samples. High-resolution genomic investigation may provide insights into their significance. Aims. To review the literature regarding coagulase-negative staphylococcal infection utility methods to aid diagnosis management, identify promising areas for future research. Meth...

Bovine Mastitis is an inflammation of the mammary gland, usually due to microbial infection, which causes economic loss dairy producer every year. Staphylococcus one most common pathogens responsible for contagious mastitis in bovines. The aim this study was identify coagulase positive Staphylococci isolated from bovine subclinical mastitis. In vitro biofilm forming ability isolates, important ...

Bovine mastitis is one of the major ill-health of cattle and buffaloes, responsible for great economic loss to dairy industry affecting livestock farmers worldwide. The major economic consequences of clinical bovine mastitis are due to treatment, loss in milk production, culling, changes in product quality and the risk of other diseases (Halasa et al., 2007). For etiological diagnosis of bovine...

Among the diverse views which have been advanced to explain the mechanism of the clotting of blood by staphylocoagulase, it has been suggested that coagulase acts directly on fibrinogen,4"3 or that it is a proteolytic enzyme,3 similar to trypsin, which activates prothrombin. Recently, however, the enzymic nature ofcoagulase has been questioned.12 Smith and Hale,' in a significant contribution, ...

AIMS The epidemiological assessment of cases of coagulase negative staphylococcal catheter related bloodstream infection. METHODS Two hundred and thirty patients with suspected catheter related bloodstream infection were evaluated over a two year period. Central venous catheters were cultured both endoluminally and extraluminally. Peripheral blood, catheter hubs, skin entry, and skin control ...

INTRODUCTION According to the results of different investigations, the opinion that isolate of coagulase-negative staphylococci by bloodcultures represents the blood infection in 10-12% patient. The aim of the work was to determine the number of patients with blood infection-sepsa induced coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated by bloodcultures. MATERIAL AND METHODS The research was done at...

Five different laboratory tests for the identification of Staphylococcus aureus were compared. Analyses of 271 presumptive S. aureus strains, supplemented with 59 well-defined methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) isolates, were performed. Only the Staphaurex Plus (Murex Diagnostics, Dartford, United Kingdom) and the Pastorex Staphplus (Sanofi, Marnes-La-Coquette, France) tests displayed 100% ...

For the elucidation of many of the problems of the nature and mode of action of staphylocoagulase, preparations of high biological activity and purity are essential. Preliminary studies along these lines have been reported in the literature.3 11,15 Thus, it has been shown that coagulase may be precipitated by alcohol, by acids, and by halfsaturation with ammonium sulfate. Walston, using 10 volu...

The study was carried out to investigate the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci isolated from Bovine Mastitis in and around Dharwad region. A total of 310 samples were screened and 180 confirmed Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci were obtained. The antimicrobial susceptibility of CoagulaseNegative Staphylococci against 10 antimicrobial agents was teste...
