“…Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are common inhabitants of the skin, skin glands and mucous membranes of various mammals and birds (Nagase et al, 2001;Hauschild, 2001). Although these organisms are part of the normal flora of animals and are generally considered to be of low virulence, they appeared to be implicated in the aetiology of a variety of human and animal infections, and they have established themselves as important pathogens showing increasing trends towards antibiotic resistance in the last decade (von Eiff et al, 2001).…”

“…Staphylococcus genus was the most dominant (total read count 1064, amounting to 7.42%). Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are normally considered as part of the animal microbiota, inhabiting the skin, skin glands and mucous membranes of various mammals and birds [14]. Staphylococcus cells can be maintained for relatively long periods of time on various surfaces and can survive in aerosols for extended periods.…”

Objectives: Air quality in the stables is characterized by elevated level of dust and aeroallergens which are supposed to directly cause or exacerbate several respiratory disorders. The most often recognized problem is recurrent airway obstruction (RAO), previously known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). There is some indication that aeroallergens (among them endotoxins) may also cause inflammation in human airways and may exceed safe levels in stables. Monitoring studies have covered mainly the determination of the concentration of respirable particles and of culturable fungi and their toxins. However, these particles do not only directly affect the respiratory system, but might act as a carrier conveying toxic contaminants and biological agents such as bacteria. In a typical, 20-horse Hungarian stable, microbial community of respirable fraction of resuspended dust has been characterized to reveal if these particles convey hazardous pathogenic bacteria, posing risk to either horses or staff. Material and Methods: Resuspended dust was sampled using a mobile instrument. The instrument contains a PARTISOL-FRM model 2000 sampler that was operated at a flow rate of 16.7 l/min and a cyclone separator which collected the particulate matter with an aerodynamic size between 1 μm and 10 μm (PM 1-10 ) fraction. Microbial taxa were identified by culture-independent next generation sequencing (NGS) of variable 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) gene regions. Results: In total, 1491 different taxa were identified, of them 384 were identified to species level, 961 to genus level. The sample was dominated by common ubiquitous soil and organic material-dwelling taxa. Conclusions: Pathogens occurred at low abundance, and were represented by mostly facultative human pathogens, with the prevalence of Staphylococcus species.

One hundred and fifty urine specimens were collected from urinaray tract infected patients, visiting different hospitals in Baghdad, for the period the first of September to the first of December, 2005.Out of 61 staphylococci isolates, 13 isolates were diagnosed as coagulase positive staphylococci, 48 isolates as coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS), 10 of the latter were identified as Staphylococcus xylosus. This identification was confirmed by biochemical tests and api 20 staph system.All strains of S. xylosus isolates were able to produce protease and haemolysin, and unable to produce lipase, whereas urease activity was variable.S. xylosus isolates showed high susceptibility toward ciprofloxacin and high resistant toward erythromycin.Several pathological changes have been caused by S. xylosus isolates in mice represented by glomerulus shrinkage, heamorrhage, congestion, and infiltration of inflammatory cells in kidney, while the urinary bladder suffered from hydropic degeneration, dekeratiniztation, as well as infiltration of inflammatory cells.It was clear that the urease producing isolate S. xylosus S7 was more virulent than the non urease producing isolate S. xylosus S12.
