| Résumé : | Ninety-one strains of coagulase-negative 'Staphylococci' isolated from urine specimens of patients with urinary tract infection (UTI) were classified by the Kloos and Schleifer method. The study confirmed the pathogenic role played by 'S. saprophyticus' - an organism characterized by its biological properties and its resistance to novobiocin - in UTI of young female out-patients. On the other hand, coagulase-negative 'Staphylococci' sensitive to novobiocin were mostly found in the urine of elderly in-patients who had undergone instrumental procedures or who presented with urinary tract abnormalities. Precise identification of coagulase-negative 'Staphylococci' urinary isolates is needed, since it has epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic applications. |
