Background: Coagulase negative Staphylococci (CoNS) positive blood cultures represent a complex and common challenge in clinical medicine. CoNS are common in skin flora and are often mistaken as contamination. Convers...
Background The Alere PBP2a SA Culture Colony Test is an FDA-cleared in vitro immunochromatographic assay for rapid detection of penicillin-binding protein2a(PBP2a)in Staphylococcus aureus.Methods We investigated the p...
The coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) have long been considered to be low pathogenicity. The possibility of a horizontal transfer of resistance and virulence genes from S. aureus to CoNS could increase the patho...
Objective: This was a retrospective study to evaluate the clinical impact of bacteremia due to Staphylococcus saprophyticus and identify which factors influence it. Methods: ...

Objectives:The aim of this study was to assess the microbiological quality and safety of street food sold in the main streets and informal markets of Maputo,the capital of Mozambique.Materials and Methods:From 83 diff...
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic joint infections(PJIs)are frequently caused by coagulase-negative Staphylococci(CoNS),which is known to be a hard-to-treat microorganism.Antibiotic resistance among causative pathogens of PJI...
Apart from the conventional factors, recent evidences have suggested that lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is also associated with microbes, which is completely ignored in the management of patients with disc prolapse and...
Background Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are the most common cause of late-onset sepsis in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and usually require vancomycin treatment. Our objective was to determine whe...
Staphylococcus cohnii is not known to causes meningitis. We present a case of mennigitis due to this organism. We are highlighting this case not only for its rarity but rapidity of worsening also. This report indicate...
Coagulase is considered as a major determinant factor for the identification of Staphylococcus aureus strains.The 3-end coding region of the coagulase(coa)gene contains a series of 81-bp tandem repeats,which differ in...
