Abstract

One hundred and seventy four urine specimens were collected from UTI patients women (64 pregnant and 110 non-pregnant) aged 18-45 years, presented with symptomatic genital tract infection, visiting Alkarama teaching hospitals and out patient in wasit for the period from 1.9.2009 to 1.6.2010.

Ten Staphylococcus xylosus were isolated (5.7%): Eight (12.5%) from pregnant and 2 (1.8%) from non-pregnant women. Statistically, there is no significant difference regarding S. xylosus occurence among pregnant and non-pregnant. In both groups of patients,Out of 61 Staphylocci isolates, 13 isolates were diagnosed as Co agulasepositive +ve, 48 isolates as Coagulase Negative Staphylococci CONS, 10 of which were identified as S.xylosus. This identification was confirmed by biochemical tests, Antibiogram and Api staph.

The ability of S. xylosus isolates produce urease, protease, lipase , haemolysin as well as capsule formation, were investigated. Results showed resemblance of all S. xylosus isolates in producing these enzymes in exception of urease production, since 10 isolates were urease positive while 3 isolates were urease negative.

As for antibiogram, all S. xylosus isolates were susceptible to Ciprofloxacine while 80% of them were resistant to erythromycin.

Two isolates of S. xylosus were elected, on the basis of their multidrug resistant, S. xylosus S7 urease positive and S. xylosus S112 urease nagetive in order to testify their ability to establish UTIIi in mice. Aas one group was injected via intraurethral catheter with S. xylosus S7, another group was injected with S. xylosus S12.
