Coagulase

Teicoplanin is a naturally occurring complex of five closely related tetracyclic molecules. Its mode of action and spectrum of activity are essentially similar to vancomycin, although it might be less active a inst some strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci. Teicoplanin can be administered by intramuscular injection. 

Excludes single positive cultures for coagulase-negative staphylococci and organisms that do not cause endocarditis.

In healthy individuals URT flora multiplies in gastric aspirate during treatment with antisecretory compounds and in particular proton pump inhibitors [34, 40, 44], This concerns viridans streptococci, coagulase-negative staphylococci, Haemophilus sp., diphtheroids, Moraxella sp., lactobacilli, and other streptococci, most of which are Gram-positive bacteria. With dedicated measures anaerobic species of oral origin are also recovered [66].

Caution must be used in the evaluation of positive culture results from normally sterile sites (e.g., blood, cerebrospinal fluid, joint fluid). The recovery of bacteria normally found on the skin in large quantities (e.g., coagulase-negative staphylococci, diphtheroids) from one of these sites may be a result of contamination of the specimen rather than a true infection. 

S. aureus has become more prevalent as a cause of endocarditis because of increased IV drug abuse, frequent use of peripheral and central venous catheters, and valve-replacement surgery. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNST, usually S. epidermidis) are prominent causes of PVE. 

According to the National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance System, the five most common pathogens encountered in surgical wounds are Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative staphylococci, Enterococci, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. 

The most common cause of uncomplicated UTIs is E. coli, accounting for more than 85% of community-acquired infections, followed by Staphylococcus saprophyticus (coagulase-negative staphylococcus), accounting for 5% to 15%.

Penicilhns that are resistant to penicilhnase are the drug of choice for infections resistant to penicillin G, Staph, aureus, or coagulase-negative staphylococci. They are also effective for infections caused by nonenterococcus types of streptococci, such as streptococci groups A, B, C, and G, as weh as pneumococci.
