Staphylococcus Saprophyticus morphology and culture
Staphylococcus saprophyticus (actually S. saprophyticus subspecies saprophyticus) belongs to the coagulase-negative Staphylococci (KNS) of the S. saprophyticus group. The normal habitat of organisms is not fully understood. In some young women, the skin of the perineum and the rectum are populated with S. saprophyticus. Staphylococcus Saprophyticus diseases
Staphylococcus Saprophyticus plays a role primarily as an agent of acute uncomplicated urinary tract infections in young women. In this group, S. saprophyticus is the second most common pathogen in all organisms after Escherichia coli, with a content of 5-20%. Infections occur mostly postcoitum. Staphylococcus Saprophyticus is also responsible for a portion of nonspecific urethritis in sexually active men. Symptoms are dysuric complaints. Pathogenically significant is that S. saprophyticus is able to adhere to the epithelial cells of the urogenital tract. In individual cases, pyelonephritis may occur.
