Staphylococcus argenteus is a new specie positive coagulase staphylococci. We investigate the presence of S. argenteus in isolates previously classified as S. aureus, obtained from the milk of cows with mastitis in Brazil.
Among 856 S. aureus tested in chocolate agar, tryptone soya agar and salt egg yolk agar, white or colorless colonies were observed in 185 (21.6%) isolates. Regarding the ctrOPQMN operon, 111 (60%) presented the complete cluster. Despite some missing genes in this cluster, the remaining strains (74) were confirmed as S. aureus using the nrps gene.
As far as we know, this is the first review of S. aureus collection in Brazil and S. argenteus does not appear to be a significant problem in Brazilian herds.
金黄色葡萄球菌是一种新型阳性凝固酶葡萄球菌。我们研究了在巴西乳腺炎奶牛乳中分离到的先前分类为金黄色葡萄球菌的分离物中是否存在 S. argenteus。
在巧克力琼脂、胰蛋白胨大豆琼脂和盐蛋黄琼脂中测试的 856 株金黄色葡萄球菌中,185 株(21.6%)分离株观察到白色或无色菌落。关于 ctrOPQMN 操纵子,111 株(60%)存在完整簇。尽管该簇中存在一些缺失基因,但使用 nrps 基因仍可确认其余菌株(74 株)为金黄色葡萄球菌。
据我们所知,这是巴西金黄色葡萄球菌收集的首次综述,金黄色葡萄球菌似乎不是巴西牛群中的一个重大问题。
