coagulase/dental caries

Prevalence and genetic characteristics of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and coagulase-negative staphylococci in oral cavity of healthy children were studied in Hokkaido, northern main island of Japan. From saliva of 526 children, a total of 248 staphylococcal isolates comprising

The study was aimed at determination whether and how frequently coagulase-negative staphylococci persisting in human oral cavity possess the same feature. The material consisted of 255 strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from oral cavity of persons of both sexes and in differing

It was attempted, to determine the influence of coagulase-induced coagula on the leukotactic effects of Staphylococcus aureus in experimental subcutaneous body-cavities (KK) of rabbits. Purified staphylococcal coagulase mediated a partial coagulation in the KK when fibrinogen had been added. The

The aim of this study was an analysis of the staphylococcal flora of the nasal cavity of 42 healthy horses from 4 farms, along with species identification of CoNS isolates and determination of resistance to 18 antimicrobial agents, particularly phenotypic and genotypic methicillin resistance. From

UNASSIGNED This study was conducted to study the coagulase gene-based genetic diversity of Staphylococcus aureus, isolated from different samples of cattle using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and their sequence-based phylogenetic analysis. UNASSIGNED A total of 192 different

The most scrupulous respect should be paid to rules of hygiene in aircraft catering. In addition, human beings are the most dangerous vectors of food poisoning and infection. Enterotoxic staphylococci are responsible for about 75% of such cases. A year-long check was therefore made on the staff of a

Biofilm production is a well-known causative factor of catheter- and medical device-related sepsis. Its high prevalence in coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) has recently been reported. Information on biofilm production in CoNS isolated from wild animals is lacking. Herein, we studied the

From 14 chronic middle ear effusions (MEEs), 17 strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CS) were isolated. We then used an ELISA method to determine the antibody titers against these microorganisms in the corresponding effusion fluids and the blood sera of the patients and compared them to the

The aim of this study was to evaluate bacterial flora infecting during the surgical procedures the peritoneal cavity and drains which were used after the surgery in 40 patients who underwent surgery for colon and rectum tumors. Smears from the peritoneal cavity, liquid removed from the drain taken

The study was aimed at establishment, whether in oral cavity co-inhabit bacteria demonstrating antagonistic properties against staphylococci and whether this phenomenon may influence the size of staphylococcal population in this environment. Two locations of bacteria in oral cavity were

Two hundred ninety two staphylococcal strains were isolated out of 130 saliva samples taken from children and adults, among which 116 were coagulase-positive and 176 coagulase negative. Bacteriocinogenic activity against Staphylococcus aureus strain Oxford 209P was found in 13 (4.5%) of the strains

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the rate of Panton-Valentine Leukocidin producing Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin (mecA) and slime (icaA/icaD) genes in staphylococcal strains isolated from nasal cavities of footballers. METHODS Nasal swab samples were taken from each footballers and
