This study used advanced methods like ribotyping and protein analysis to identify novobiocin-resistant staphylococci from human samples. These techniques successfully differentiated Staphylococcus xylosus, Staphylococcus equorum, and Staphylococcus succinus, revealing new clinical occurrences.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Clinical Diagnostics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Novobiocin-resistant staphylococci present diagnostic challenges.
  • Accurate identification of staphylococcal species is crucial for clinical management.
  • Previous studies have shown limitations in differentiating closely related staphylococcal species using conventional methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To apply a polyphasic identification approach for characterizing novobiocin-resistant staphylococci from human clinical samples.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of ribotyping and whole-cell protein fingerprinting in differentiating biochemically similar staphylococcal species.
  • To report the first occurrence of Staphylococcus equorum and Staphylococcus succinus in human clinical materials in the Czech Republic.

Main Methods:

  • Polyphasic identification of 11 novobiocin-resistant staphylococci.
  • Phenotypic characterization using commercial and conventional tests.
  • Molecular identification using ribotyping (EcoRI, HindIII), whole-cell protein fingerprinting, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and PCR assay targeting the sodA gene.

Main Results:

  • Phenotypic tests ambiguously identified strains as Staphylococcus xylosus or S. xylosus/Staphylococcus equorum.
  • Ribotyping and protein fingerprinting identified six strains as Staphylococcus equorum and five as Staphylococcus succinus.
  • 16S rRNA gene sequencing and sodA gene PCR confirmed the identification of S. equorum.
  • This study reports the first isolation of S. equorum and S. succinus from human clinical material in the Czech Republic.

Conclusions:

  • Ribotyping and whole-cell protein analysis are effective in differentiating biochemically similar species: Staphylococcus xylosus, Staphylococcus equorum, and Staphylococcus succinus.
  • The study confirms the presence of S. equorum in Czech human clinical samples.
  • The study reports the first isolation of S. succinus from human clinical material globally.
