Osteomyelitis of the jaw infected with Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci (CNS) is rarely reported in the Oral and Maxillofacial Region. Staphylococcus is a part of the normal body flora, but it may be cause severe infections and CNS are often described as the important pathogens in nosocomial infections. Although many studies on prevalence and antibiotics of Staphylococcus aureus have been done, but many of these studies focus only on Methicillin-resistant S. aureus and not on methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci (MRCNS). There was a less study about CNS or MRCNS infections in the Oral and Maxillofacial Region. This report describes a case of a 41-year-old male patient who developed osteomyelitis caused by MRCNS on condyle after open reduction and internal fixation and suggests guideline for the prevention of postoperative infection and appropriate recommendation for treatment and control.

The distribution of slide coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from bovine mastitic milk samples was investigated mainly according to Kloos and Schleifer's classification scheme, and toxigenic and enzymatic characteristics of these strains were also examined. One-hundred-and-twenty-one strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated were classified into 8 species. Of these species, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staph. xylosus, Staph. haemolyticus and Staph. simulans were more frequently found in bovine mastitic milk samples, and toxin and enzyme production of these species were observed in relatively high frequency. Staph. hyicus subsp. hyicus was isolated from the 4 quarters with clinical mastitis included in this investigation. By the use of Baird-Parker and Pelzer's classification system, 44.6% and 18.2% of the strains could not be classified in any subgroup, respectively.

Methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MRCNS) were isolated from the respiratory sites of chickens in 4 farms and slaughter house located in Chungnam provinces. Isolation of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) was positive for 61 (26.6%) of the 229 chickens tested, and isolation of MRCNS was positive for 17 (27.9%) of the isolated CNS. A total of 17 MRCNS isolates were selected and subjected to identification. Of the 17 MRCNS isolates selected, 6 were identified as Staphylococcus cohnii, 2 as S. saprophyticus, 3 as S. simulans, 3 as S. lentus, 2 as S. carnosus, and 1 as S. xylosus. The MRCNS isolates were resistant to many beta-lactam antibiotics, and some isolates were also resistant to macrolide and aminoglycoside antibiotics. The mecA gene was detected in some isolates of each MRCNS strains. The mecA-positive isolates were classified into five staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec). SCCmec types I to IV were detected in isolates from chickens.

Wildlife is a bio-indicator of environmental pollution by antimicrobial resistant bacteria or genes, however, there is no information on antimicrobial resistance in wildlife-origin bacteria. This study aimed to investigate the normal microbiota of staphylococci and their antimicrobial resistance in wildlife that did not take any antimicrobials. After sampling and bacterial isolation/identification, antimicrobial resistance profiles were examined by broth microdilution test, Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion test and mecA genetargeted PCR. Of 90 isolates from wildlife, 83 were coagulase-negative staphylococci while only 7 were coagulase-positive staphylococci. Methicillin-resistance was found in 63 (70%) isolates and 35 of 90 (38.9%) isolates were multidrug-resistant staphylococci. When considering that all of the animals did not take any medication or contacted any medical device before the sampling, the results indicate significantly high prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in wild environments. Further study would be necessary to investigate the transmission route of antimicrobial resistance.

인의학에서 메티실린 내성 포도상균주는 병원감염의 주요 원인균으로 보고되고 있지만 소동물에서 이에 대한 연구는 거의 없다. 본 연구에서는 2002년 8월부터 2003년 7월까지 개와 고양이에서 분리된 136개의 포도상구균 분리주 (coagulase 양성 87주, coagulase 음성 49주)에 대하여 항생제 감수성 검사와 이들 분리주에서 메티실린 내성 유전자인 mecA 분포상황을 조사하였다. 136개 분리주중 43주 (31.6％)가 mecA 유전자를 가지고 있었고, 유전자의 분포율은 균주에 따라 상당한 차이를 보였다. 43주의 mecA 양성균주 중 31주 (72.1％)가 oxacillin 내성을 보여 mecA 양성균주가 반드시 oxacillin 내성과 일치하는 것은 아님을 시사하였다. 그러나 mecA 양성균주일수록 oxacillin 내성율이 높았는데 S. intermedius의 71.4％ (p<0.001), coagulase 음성균주의 경우 72.4％가 내성을 보였다 (p<0.001). 분리주의 94주(69％) 적어도 하나 이상의 항생제에 내성을 보였고 특히 31주(22.8％)는 4가지 이상의 항생제에 동시에 내성을 보였다. Penicillin 항생제에 내성율이 71.7％로 가장 높았다. 본 연구는 국내 소동물에서 mcA 양성균주가 존재하며, 이러한 균에 의해 유도된 감염증을 치료할 때 다제내성의 특성 때문에 항생제 선택의 폭이 매우 제한될 수 있음을 시사한다.

The in vitro activity of penicillins(penicillin G, ampicillin, carbenicillin, methicillin and cloxacillin) and gentamicin to Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from bovine mastitic milk samples was determined. The growth of all isolates of staphylococci tested was inhibited by cloxacillin and methicillin at a concentration of $0.78{\mu}g/ml$ and by gentamicin at a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of $1.56{\mu}g/ml$. Of the 140 strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated 99(70.7%) gave positive reactions for penicillinase on the starch-iodine test. Of 121 isolates of coagulase-negative staphylococci, 58(47.9%) showed penicillinase production, but all the Staph. xylosus lacked the ability to produce penicillinase. MIC of penicillin G of the penicillinase-positive strains was $0.2{\mu}g/ml$ or more. The combination of cloxacillin with gentamicin showed a synergistic effect by inhibiting regrowth of the tested organism.

A total of 1,444 coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) isolates from bovine mastitic milk samples collected during 2003-2008 in Korea were identified to the species level. Of 14 species identified, S. simulans, S. haemolyticus, and S. sciuri accounted for over 60% of the isolates. All the CNS isolates were tested for susceptibility to eight antimicrobials commonly used in dairy cattle. With a few exceptions, similar resistance patterns were observed among the CNS species: penicillin and ampicillin showed the lowest activity, whereas amikacin, cephalothin, and gentamicin were highly effective. About 39% (557/1,444) of the CNS isolates were pan-susceptible, whereas 12% (175/1,444) showed resistance to four or more antimicrobials tested.

Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are a typical group of microorganisms, and the recent advances in laboratory technology and medicine has dramatically modified their significance in medical practice. CoNS, which were previously classified as normal bacterial flora, have recently been reported to be associated with serious infectious diseases, such as surgical wound infection or periprosthetic joint infection. Representative CoNS include Staphylococcus epidermidis, S. haemolyticus, and S. saprophyticus, which are known to cause serious problems in biomaterial-based and prosthetic device infections, as well as to cause simple urinary tract infections in sexually active women. Over the last decade, the clinical isolation rate of CoNS has been increasing, and antibiotic resistance has also been occurring. This review aimed to investigate the incidence of CoNS infection and to use the results as basic data for the management of CoNS, with a focus on the isolation rate and antibiotic resistance in clinical surgery.

Mastitis is a common and serious infection of the mammary gland in dairy cattle and has a major economic impact on the production of milk and dairy products. Bacterial mastitis is caused by several pathogens and is most frequently associated with coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS). Although CNS are typically associated with subclinical or mild mastitis, the importance of CNS has increased as these pathogens have emerged as predominant mastitis-related pathogens in many countries. CNS can cause persistent infections, resulting in increased milk somatic cell counts and thereby affecting milk quality and decreasing milk production. Globally, Staphylococcus chromogenes, S. epidermidis, and S. simulans are the predominant CNS species in dairy cattle mastitis. Antibacterial resistance of CNS varies with species, and most CNS are susceptible to vancomycin and resistant to penicillin and tetracycline. As the most frequently isolated CNS species, some strains of S. chromogenes exhibit phenotypic resistance to ampicillin, erythromycin, oxacillin, penicillin, and tetracycline. Some strains of S. epidermidis and S. haemolyticus are only susceptible to vancomycin and rifampicin. Therefore, more studies are needed to achieve the control and prevention of CNS as environmental pathogens.
