摘要
The species of 203 strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), isolated from bovine udder quarters was determined; all were tested for hydrophobicity and encapsulation, attributes that may relate to virulence. Twelve species were identified, of which Staphylococcus simulans, (34.5%), S. chromogenes (16.7%), S. epidermidis (13.8%) and S. xylosus (8.9%) were the most frequent. The majority of strains possessed a hydrophilic cell surface. However, strains from two species (S. chromogenes and S. epidermidis) were more hydrophobic than the others. Only five strains were encapsulated (S. xylosus, 3; S. saprophyticus, 1; and S. sciuri, 1). Judging from the low frequencies of hydrophobic and encapsulated strains, and comparing with strains isolated from clinical cases, it is suggested that these properties are not major virulence determinants of CNS.
