Herein, we report the complete genome sequence of the Staphylococcus Myoviridae phage pSco-10 infecting Staphylococcus cohnii The phage pSco-10 was isolated from duck feces collected from four farms in South Korea. The current report provides valuable information for genomic study of phages.

An investigation was carried out during October 2005-September 2006 to determine the prevalence of bloodstream infections in patients attending the outpatient department of the HIV/AIDS clinic at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital in Nigeria. Two hundred and one patients--86 males and 115 females--aged 14-65 years were recruited for the study. Serological diagnosis was carried out on them t...

Twenty-four Staphylococcus species or subspecies were examined for their susceptibilities to the fluoroquinolone fleroxacin (Ro 23-6240) by disk diffusion (5-micrograms disk) and by agar dilution for the determination of MICs. Resistant strains were further tested for their susceptibilities to oxacillin and the fluoroquinolone ciprofloxacin. Reference strains of the novobiocin-resistant species...

Under normal circumstances, at deliveiy and during the inunediate neonatal period, the infant is exposed to many organisms. Coagulase negative staphylococci (CS) are now recognized as the majorcauses ofnosocomial infections in neonates in many hospitals in different countries. Staphylococcus (S.) cohnii is one of the coagulase negative and novobiocin-resistant staphylococci and is usually isola...

A total of 104 coagulase negative staphylococci, belonging to S. capitis, S. hominis, S. haemolyticus and S. warneri, originating from the collection of the Department of Pharmaceutical Microbiology (ZMF), Medical University of Lodz, Poland, were tested for their synergistic hemolytic activity. 83% of strains produced δ-hemolysin, however, the percentage of positive strains of S. haemolyticus, ...

Chromatin was prepared by two dif ferent methods f rom isolated nuclei of Gyrodinium cohnii ( Cryptothecodinium cohnii) and Peridinium trochoideum. These isolation procedures are different from those generally used to prepare eukaryote chromatin, because the latter do not work for dinoflagellate chromatin. The chemical composition of this chromatin is similar for both methods of preparation and...
