“…Some infections have also been associated with specifi c geographical properties, as well as with the handling and consumption of certain meats [13]. The proposed pathomechanism of UTIs caused by S. saprophyticus is ascension of the bacteria proximally within the urinary tract, after which they colonize the urinary tract epithelium, causing cystitis and more severe UTIs, such as acute pyelonephritis and nephrolithiasis.…”

Staphylococcus saprophyticus is a well-known urinary pathogen in acute cystitis in young females. We completed a retrospective overview of the distribution of urinary tract infections (UTIs) occurring in 2014, at Semmelweis University hospitals and at Heim Pál Children's Hospital. Six age-groups (ages 0-100) were examined, with the frequency of S. saprophyticus in females being: 0.1% (0-4), 0.7%, (5-15), 7.4% (16-24), 1.2% (25-39), 0.4% (40-59) and 0.1% (60-100), and S. saprophyticus being the 3 rd most common pathogen in females aged 16-24. In males, S. saprophyticus was only isolated from those aged 5-15. Seasonal distribution of UTIs caused by S. saprophyticus showed that most infections occurred during the months of January, June, August and November. Antibiotic-resistance rates of amoxicillin, clindamycin, doxycycline, erythromycin, gentamicin and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim varied as follows: 0.9%, 32.7%, 19.6%, 34.6%, 0.9% and 0.9%, respectively. Thirty randomly selected samples were analysed by pulsed-fi eld gelelectrophoresis, and 28 different genotypes were identifi ed. S. saprophyticus is involved in the pathogenesis of acute cystitis not only in young females, but also in other age-groups, and in young males as well. We did not fi nd any signifi cant seasonal occurrence in S. saprophyticus-caused UTIs. The infective strains were genetically diverse. Antibiotic-resistance does not pose any issue as of yet.

“…There are also several case reports of infections in young girls 13 . The more severe complications include acute pyelonephritis, septicemia, nephrolithiasis and endocarditis 7,14,15 . S. saprophyticus can also cause UTI in males of all ages ; the organism has been isolated in young boys, male homosexuals, and elderly men with indwelling urinary catheters 16,17 .…”

“…Other associations include outdoor swimming prior to colonization and occupations related to meat processing and meat products. S. saprophyticus has been isolated from 7.1% of rectal swab specimens taken from carcasses of cattle 7 . The organism may be present on normal skin and in the periurethral and urethral region transiently and in small number 8 .…”

The present study was conducted to observe the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of isolated S. saprophyticus from urine samples of patients admitted in inpatient department or visited the out patient department of Sir Salimullah Medical College & Mitford Hospital (SSMC& MH) Dhaka from October 2002 to September 2003. Among the isolates, Esch. coli was the most predominant (82.61%) urinary pathogens followed by S. saprophyticus (7.01%). 93.10% S. saprophyticus was isolated from females of which highest (44.82%) rate of isolation was among female of 18-45 years age group. Rate of isolation was also high (41.38%) among female of <18 years age group. All strains of S. saprophyticus (100%) were sensitive to Imipenem. High sensitivity was also observed to gentamicin (86.20%) and ceftriaxone (72.41%). Ciprofloxacin was found to be sensitive against 68.96% isolates. Sensitivity of ceftazidime, cephalexin and cloxacillin were 65.51%, 55.17% and 55.17% respectively. However, most of the S. saprophyticus are resistant to ampicillin, nalidixic acid and cotrimoxazole. So, the present study illustrates that physicians and microbiologists must be aware that S saprophyticus is an important cause of UTIs in young women and there is a need for continuous evaluation of common antibiotics used in the therapy of uropathogens.

“…saprophyticus es un patógeno habitualmente responsable de infecciones urinarias no complicadas (cistitis y pielonefritis) en mujeres jóvenes. La fuente de infección de la ITU por S. saprophyticus en mujeres es desconocida; sin embargo, se sabe que S. saprophyticus está muy distribuido en el ecosistema y, por tanto, es fácil la contaminación de una gran variedad de productos alimentarios y así se produce la colonización del tracto gastrointestinal 18 . La colonización rectal, vaginal y uretral por esta bacteria está asociada con la presencia de ITU 19 .…”
