Coagulase-Negative Staphylococcal Infections

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2009
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are differentiated from the closely related but more virulent Staphylococcus aureus by their inability to produce free coagulase. Currently, there are over 40 recognized species of CNS. These organisms typically reside on healthy human skin and mucus membranes, rarely cause disease, and are most frequently ...

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 ...

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.
