Antibiotic sensitivity analysis of clinical coagulase-negative staphylococci

Background. The increasing role of coagulase-negative staphylococci in the occurrence of staphylococcal infections leads to the need for close attention to them. Special control is required over the sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics and the spread of methicillin resistance, as a sign of multipl...

description Background. The increasing role of coagulase-negative staphylococci in the occurrence of staphylococcal infections leads to the need for close attention to them. Special control is required over the sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics and the spread of methicillin resistance, as a sign of multiple resistance to antibacterial drugs. It is also important to identify the virulence factors of coagulase-negative staphylococci, which determine their behavior in the environment.The aim. To evaluate the sensitivity of strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci to clinically significant antibiotics daptomycin, vancomycin, linezolid and oxacillin and lantibiotic warnerin.Methods. Determination of the minimal inhibitory concentrations of antibacterial compounds for clinical coagulase-negative staphylococci by standard methods of serial dilutions and disc diffusion. Identification of the phenomenon of decreased susceptibility of bacteria to vancomycin by population analysis and concentration gradient. Lipid analysis by thin layer chromatography. Results. High antibacterial activity of vancomycin, daptomycin and linezolid against clinical strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci was shown. The upper limit of the minimum inhibitory concentrations of vancomycin within the sensitive phenotype and the expansion of the ranges of the minimum inhibitory concentrations of daptomycin and warnerin towards an increase in oxacillin-resistant isolates were revealed. The heterogeneous nature of sensitivity to vancomycin of the cultures of the studied strains and the possibility of their rapid enrichment with subpopulations with reduced sensitivity to this antibiotic have been established. The selection of resistance of coagulase-negative staphylococci to vancomycin was accompanied by an increase in the synthesis of lysylphosphatidylglycerol and a decrease in their sensitivity to cationic peptide compounds.Conclusion. The revealed prevalence of the methicillin-resistant phenotype of clinical strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci, along with the presence in the lipid spectrum of the universal factor of resistance to cationic antibacterial compounds, lysylphosphatidylglycerol, entails the need for new methodological solutions for diagnosing infections caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci.
