Risk of peritonitis during peritoneal dialysis in carriers of Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci
(2006-11-01)
The presence of Staphylococcus aureus in the nasal cavities and pericatheter skin of peritoneal dialysis patients put them at high risk of developing peritonitis. However, it is not clear whether the presence of ...
Enterotoxin genes in coagulase-negative and coagulase-positive staphylococci isolated from bovine milk
(2013-05-01)
The objective of this study was to isolate and identify the main staphylococcal species causing bovine mastitis in 10 Brazilian dairy herds and study their capability to produce enterotoxins. Herds were selected based on ...
Detection of enterotoxin and toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 genes in Staphylococcus, with emphasis on coagulase-negative staphylococci
(2007-04-30)
The detection of staphylococcal enterotoxins is decisive for the confirmation of an outbreak and for the determination of the enterotoxigenicity of strains. Since the recognition of their antigenicity, a large number of ...
Detecção da produção de slime por estafilococos coagulase-negativa isolados de cateter venoso central
(2007-12-01)
Slime production is an important virulence factor of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus spp., allowing them to attach to smooth surfaces of biomaterials, and it has been associated with infections of implanted medical ...
Molecular detection of enterotoxins E, G, H and I in Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from clinical samples of newborns in Brazil
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-09-01)
Aims: The objective of this study was to investigate the detection of SEE, SEG, SEH and SEI in strains of Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) using RT-PCR.Methods and Results: In this study, ...
Polymerase Chain Reaction Detection of Enterotoxins Genes in Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci Isolated from Brazilian Minas Cheese
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., 2010-09-01)
For a long time, Staphylococcus aureus has been always thought to be the only pathogenic species among Staphylococcus, while coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) were classified as contaminant agents. However, molecular ...
CARACTERIZAÇÃO DO STAPHYLOCOCCUS COAGULASE NEGATIVO ISOLADOS DE QUARTOS MAMÁRIOS DE VACAS COM MASTITE SUBCLÍNICA
(Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, 1994)
SUMMARY The present work was carried out in the region of Zona da Mata-MG, Brazil, during three months. Sixteen crossbreed cows and nineteen Holstein-Friesian cows from four herds were used. The work aimed to characterize ...
Antimicrobial resistance profile of planktonic and biofilm cells of staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci
(2016-09-01)
The objective of the present study was to determine the antimicrobial resistance profile of planktonic and biofilm cells of Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS). Two hundred Staphylococcus spp. ...
Methods for detection of oxacillin resistance among coagulase-negative staphylococci recovered from patients with bloodstream infections at the University Hospital in Brazil
(2012)
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are among the main causative agents of nosocomial infections, and multi-resistant strains has become a major issue over the past decades. The objectives of this study are to determine ...
Avaliação da colonização nasal por Staphylococcus spp. resistenteà oxacilina em alunos de enfermagem
(Sociedade Brasileira de Patologia ClínicaSociedade Brasileira de PatologiaSociedade Brasileira de Citopatologia, 2009-10-01)
INTRODUÇÃO: O gênero Staphylococcus é responsável por um grande número de infecções bacterianas em humanos, principalmente no ambiente hospitalar. OBJETIVO: Diante dessas considerações, da importância do cuidado de enfermagem ...
