“…The worldwide prevalence of UTIs due to S. saprophyticus varies from 3.6% to 42.3% in women. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] In our study, we found S. saprophyticus to be an important cause of UTIs among female adolescents (24.5%), mostly in older teenagers (14-15 years old). Previous studies reported that the mean age in adult females with S. saprophyticus UTIs is lower than the mean age of the female population as a whole.…”

“…saprophyticus is coagulase-negative staphylococci that mainly colonizes and infects young sexually active women. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Vincent et al 8 demonstrated that recent sexual intercourse, the frequency of sexual activity, and the number of sexual partners increase the risk for UTIs in young adult females. The prevalence of UTI due to S. saprophyticus is variable in different studies depending on the age group reported, timing of first sexual intercourse and its frequency.…”

Staphylococcus saprophyticus is a rarely reported agent of urinary tract infection (UTI) in the pediatric population. In our retrospective 3-year study, S. saprophyticus comprised 24.5% of 106 isolates of UTIs in female adolescents 12-15 years of age who attended an emergency department. Clinicians should be aware of the high prevalence of this etiology when empirically treating UTIs in female adolescents.

Staphylococcus saprophyticus is an important agent of urinary tract infection (UTI) in young women, but information about this pathogen in human microbiota and in common environment is lacking. The aim of this study was to characterize S. saprophyticus isolates from genitoanal microbiota of 621 pregnant women, 10 minas cheese packs, and five beaches in Rio de Janeiro city and compare PFGE profiles of these isolates with five UTI PFGE clusters described in this city. We investigated 65 S. saprophyticus isolates from microbiota, 13 from minas cheese, and 30 from beaches and 32 UTI isolates. Antimicrobial resistance was determined by disk diffusion, MIC by agar dilution, and PCR. Erythromycin-resistance genes erm(C), msr(A), msr(B), mph(C), and lin(A) were found in 93% of isolates. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole resistance correlated with dfrG or dfrA genes. Three cefoxitin-resistant isolates carried the mecA gene. All isolates obtained from cheese were susceptible to all antimicrobial agents. Six of 10 pregnant women with >1 isolate had monoclonal colonization. Isolates from pregnant women shared 100% similarity with UTI PFGE cluster types A and E obtained almost 10 years previously, suggesting temporal persistence of S. saprophyticus. Antimicrobial resistance of beach isolates reflected the profiles of human isolates. Taken together, results indicate a shared source for human and environmental isolates.

“…Species, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Staphylococcus epidermidis cause urinary tract infection mostly in young women and old men and rarely in children (Kaper et al, 2004;Upadhyayula et al, 2012;Sousa et al, 2013;Megged, 2014). Staphylococcus aureus is the main cause of UTIs among inpatients and also is the second cause of common infection among outpatients (Onanuga and Awhowho, 2012).…”

The persistence of this study is to investigate the pattern of antibiotic resistance Staphylococcus spp. causing urinary tract infection in 1675 of samples in common pathogens that cause urinary tract infection. This study is the first to evaluate the incidence of antibiotic resistance is such a large number of samples in Iran. The susceptibility of samples obtained from 14332 patients with urinary tract infections admitted to different medical diagnostic laboratories of Iran, was measured using disk diffusion method for 18 common antibiotics and multiplex PCR for Staphylococcus identification. Most of the identified Staphylococcus spp. were Staphylococcus saprophyticus (949 samples) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (481 samples). The most resistant antibiotics were identified as methicillin and penicillin, 84.1 and 94.2%, respectively. The findings of this study indicate that Staphylococcus spp. were second cause of common infection among outpatients. There are also bacteria with high resistance that is but interfere with prescription of drugs in order to treat urinary tract system infection. Also increasing of resistance to drugs among bacterial pathogens is evolving and requires an inspectoral and research procedure which could provide more information for doctors to treat the infection more efficiently.
