Content: Novobiocin-sensitive strains belong to the S. epidermidis group, novobiocin-resistant strains (minimum inhibitory concentration> 1.6 mg / l) to the S. saprophyticus group. Novobiocin is an inhibitor of gyrase, which is not approved as a human antibiotic in Germany. Like other KNS, S. saprophyticus strains are often resistant to B-lactam antibiotics. According to data from a European-wide study, S. saprophyticus strains of patients with acute uncomplicated urinary tract infections are almost always sensitive to co-trimoxazole (EUSAPRIM et al.), Trimethoprim (INFECTOTRIMET et al.) And quinolones.
