Coagulase-negative Staphylococci

Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, Mikrobiologie und Hygiene. Series A: Medical Microbiology, Infectious Diseases, Virology, Parasitology, 1987
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are opportunistic bacteria which undoubtedly are able to cause severe infections in humans and animals. Referring to our own experimental data the actual taxonomic state of staphylococci is reviewed. Furthermore, statements concerning the clinical significance of CNS are given.

Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci

Southern Medical Journal, 1988
Coagulase-negative staphylococci, long considered to be harmless commensals or contaminants, have emerged as major pathogens as medical technology has advanced. They are a major cause of intravenous-catheter-associated bacteremia, endocarditis, otitis media, and infection of joint prostheses, vascular grafts, cardiac pacemakers, cerebrospinal fluid ...

Emergence of coagulase-negative staphylococci

Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, 2020
Introduction: Compared to Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are characterized by a lower capacity to cause acute, live-threatened infections. CoNS are, however, of ever increasing importance as pathogens causing infections in immunocompromised patients and after foreign-material implantation.

Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci

Infection Control, 1982
It is becoming clear that modern medical practices leading to the compromise of patients (e.g., by the ntroduction of prostheses or • -atheters and immunosuppressive therapy) have greatly enhanced the risk of infection by resident coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species.

Endocarditis caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci [PDF]

open access: possibleInfection, 1979
Sixteen patients with coagulase-negative staphylococcal endocarditis were treated at the University of Minnesota Hospitals between January 1970 and September 1977. In six patients, endocarditis developed after prosthetic valve surgery; among the other ten patients (the medical group), eight had known antecedent valvular disease. The skin was thought to

Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci: Role as Pathogens

Annual Review of Medicine, 1999
Coagulase-negative staphylococci have long been regarded as apathogenic but their important role as pathogens and their increasing incidence have been recognized and studied in recent years. Although specific virulence factors are not as clearly established as they are in Staphylococcus aureus, it seems clear that factors such as bacterial ...

Encapsulation of Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci

Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, 1989
It is becoming clear that encapsulation is frequent among coagulase negative staphylococci and is unrelated to the formation of extracellular polysaccharide slime by many strains. Crude slime may contain capsular polysaccharides or proteins, as well as cell wall components, but this is probably the result of cell wall turnover in growing bacteria.
