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

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.

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.

Endocarditis caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci

Infection, 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

Phage typing of coagulase-negative staphylococci

Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics, 1992
Seventy-nine staphylococcal strains isolated from blood cultures (57 coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) and 22 S. aureus) and 308 CNS isolated from the skin of healthy donors were phage typed. S. epidermidis and S. capitis were readily typed with 91 strains out of 124 and 24 strains out of 43 strains being successful.

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 ...

Epidemiological markers of coagulase-negative staphylococci

Intensive Care Medicine, 1993
Several different epidemiological typing methods have been used in studies of coagulase-negative staphylococci; these include biotyping, antibiotic susceptibility pattern analysis, serological typing, phage typing, slime production detection, protein profile analysis, immunoblot fingerprinting and DNA typing.

Virulence factors of the coagulase-negative staphylococci

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2004
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) have gained substantial interest as pathogens involved in nosocomial, particularly catheter-related infections. The pathogenic potential of CNS is mainly due to their capacity to form biofilms on indwelling medical devices. In a biofilm, the bacteria are protected against antibiotics and from attacks by the immune

Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci and Their Role in Infection

2015
With over 20 identifiable species of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) recognized only some are associated with human infection. To be pathogenic for man it has been shown that several of these species elaborate a variety of soluble virulence factors, some of which share properties with similar products produced by Staphylococcus aureus including ...
