staphylococci

aureus from most staphylococci is primarily made by evaluating its ability to produce the enzyme coagulase, which promotes clotting of plasma.

In recent years, MRSA strains have shown resistance to antibiotics other than [beta]-lactam groups, thus treatment of Staphylococcus aureus infections becoming extensively bothersome and distressing.2 Considering origin of MRSA, it is assumed that methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) attained the mecA gene through parallel transmission from coagulase-negative staphylococci. The genetic attainment of staphylococcal commensal types assisted the potential of Staphylococcus aureus to inhabit, persist infection and fight antibiotic treatment.3

haemolyticus becomes one of the major agent in nosocomial infections caused by multi drug resistant Staphylococci.3

Coagulase gene was PCR amplified from the clinical isolates to categorize them into Coagulase positive Staphylococci (CPS) and coagulase negative Staphylococci (CNS).

In the present work, the isolates of coagulase-negative staphylococci were identified (Table 1), at species level, being Staphylococcus lentus (n = 2) and Staphylococcus sciuri (n = 1).

A large number of Staphylococcus species distinct from Staphylococcus aureus comprise the group known as Coagulase Negative Staphylococci (CoNS), so named as they lack the ability of the production of the enzyme coagulase.

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococus Aureus (MRSA) is a strain of Staphylococci bacteria that become resistant to those antibiotics (methicillin, cephalosporins) which are normally used to treat these infections.
