The investigation of slime production in coagulase-negative staphylococci by two methods and different incubation condition

Koagülaz negatif stafilokoklarda slime faktör yapımının iki ayrı yöntem ile ve farklı atmosfer ortamlarında araştırılması

Abstract

Slime production of 100 coagulase negative staphylococci isolated from various clinical samples have been in¬vestigated by Christensen and Congo red agar methods in various atmospheric conditions, such as aerobiosis, 5-10% CO2, and anaerobiosis. Slime production rates were found as follows respectively for aerobiosis, 5-10% CO2, and anaerobiosis 51%, 36%, 30% by Congo red agar. The rates, however, are found as 32%, 25% and 17% by Christensen method. It has been observed that slime production was best detected by Congo red agar in aerobic condition. S.epidermidis is the most strain that slime producing in coagulase negative strains.

Cesitli klinik omeklerden soyutlanan 100 koagiilaz negatif stafilokok (KNS) susunun slime faktor olu§turmasi Kongo kirmizih agar ve Christensen yontemi ile aerobik, %5-10 CO2'li ve anaerobik ortamlarda ara§tmldi. Kongo kirmizih agarda slime olusumu aerob, %5-10 CO2'h ve anaerob ortamlarda svrasvyla %51, %36, %30 iken Christensen yonteminde %32, %25 ve %17 olarak bulunmugtur. Slime olusumunun en iyi aerob ortamda ve Kongo kirmizih agarda saptandigi gozlendi (p
