[The species attribution of staphylococci isolated from patients with trichomonal urethritis].

Results of identification of 120 species of staphylococci isolated from trichomoniasis-suffering patients by means of the "staff-test" set of the Lachema firm are described. The test permits identifying 30 species of staphylococci. The author succeeded in identifying 8 species: Staphylococcus aureus, S. haemolyticus, S. intermedius, S. saprophiticus, S. capitis, S. hominis, S. warneri, S. epidermidis. It was impossible to identify specific belonging of 9 strains. The following pathogenic properties were found: plasmocoagulase in 58.33% of strains; anaerobic division of mannitol in 63.96%; lecithinase in 63.06%; DNA-ase in 56.75%; urease in 89.18%; staphylotoxins alpha, beta, delta in 84.68%, 61.26%, 94.59%, respectively. The sensitivity of staphylococci to antibiotics was different, S. saprophyticus was resistant to novobiocin.
