“…Staphylococcus pettenkoferi is one of the new members of the CoNS family first reported by Hashi et al . [ 2 ] from blood culture of an extrapulmonary tuberculosis patient and also from wound of patient with leukemia, cancer, and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The same group again could isolate S .…”

Background and Aim:Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are considered to be one of the emerging pathogens in human and animals in recent times. Staphylococcus pettenkoferi, a novel pathogen under CoNS, is discovered in 2002 in humans with multiple clinical manifestations in various patients. To date, the pathogens have not yet been reported from any animals. The present study reported the first ever isolation, identification, and characterization of multidrug-resistant S. pettenkoferi from a cat with peritonitis in India.Materials and Methods:Peritoneal fluid was collected aseptically from 3 years old cat processed for bacteriological culture by standard techniques. Isolates were confirmed by BD Phoenix™ automated bacterial identification system and were subjected to plate and tube coagulase tests. All the isolates were tested for antimicrobial sensitivity profile by disc diffusion assay, extended-spectrum β-lactamase production by double disc diffusion assay, in vitro biofilm production ability by microtiter plate assay, and detection of virulence genes and mecA gene by polymerase chain reaction assay.Results:A total of five clonally expanded isolates of S. pettenkoferi were isolated from peritoneal fluid of the affected cat. All the isolates were resistant against 36 antimicrobial agents and were also methicillin-resistant staphylococci. Phenotypically, all the isolates were negative for biofilm production but were carrying multiple biofilm-producing genes (icaA, IS257, nuc, and mecA).Conclusion:Although S. pettenkoferi was previously reported once from animal (cat) environment, this is probably the first ever report of isolation of the organism directly from any animals. This is also probably the first report from any species in India.

“…Yet unlike S. aureus , the S. epidermidis toxins responsible for infection in humans have not been clearly determined (Otto, 2012 ). S. haemolyticus , S. capitis , and S. pettenkoferi , all members of the S. epidermidis group, have been isolated from clinical infection patients, a prosthetic joint infection, and a bacteremia case, respectively (Barros et al, 2012 ; Hashi et al, 2015 ; Tevell et al, 2017 ). Interestingly, approximately 55% of clinical S. haemolyticus isolates contain methicillin resistance genes (Barros et al, 2012 ), although the toxin genes remain ambiguous.…”

Food-derived coagulase-negative Staphylococcus as starter cultures for fermented foods

Food safety is of significant concern to consumers and is a major issue for the food industry. As such, the industry is aware of the importance of safety assessments of starters used in the production of fermented foods. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are the predominant bacteria found in fermented foods worldwide. Because of this, food-derived CNS are used as starters for cheese and meat fermentation, and have been investigated for use as starters in soybean fermentation. Although food-derived CNS are generally considered non-pathogenic, their safety remains uncertain following the isolation of CNS from skin infections in humans and animals, and because they belong to the same genus as the highly pathogenic species Staphylococcus aureus. This review explores what is known about the safety of food-derived CNS, focusing on antibiotic resistance, enterotoxin genes, and biogenic amine production, to aid in the selection of starter candidates.

“…Staphylococcus pettenkoferi, a Gram-positive human skin commensal bacterium, is a coagulase-negative staphylococcal species first described and associated with clinical specimens in 2002 (1). Since then, several additional cases of infection caused by this species have been reported in various countries around the world (2–5). Similar to other coagulase-negative staphylococci, S.…”
