Description

Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are Staphylococci that are unable to produce coagulase, an enzyme that causes blood clot formation. CoNS species include S. epidermidis, S. saprophyticus, S. haemolyticus, S. lugdunensis, S. schleiferi, and S. caprae. S. epidermidis is a commensal of the skin, but can cause severe infections in immune-suppressed patients and those with central venous catheters. S. saprophyticus, another coagulase-negative species that is part of the normal vaginal flora, is predominantly found in genitourinary tract infections in sexually-active young women. In recent years, several other Staphylococcus species have been implicated in human infections, notably S. lugdunensis, S. schleiferi, and S. caprae.
