Cell electrophoretic discrimination of Staphylococcus saprophYticus strains of different origin

Staphylococcus saprophyticus isolates (n = 10) from urinary tract infections (UTIs) could be reproducibly distinguished from S. saprophyticus strains from respiratory tract infections (n = 5) by distinct electrophoretic mobility. Thus, the method of “bacteriopheresis” may offer a new approach to dis...

Zusammenfassung:	Staphylococcus saprophyticus isolates (n = 10) from urinary tract infections (UTIs) could be reproducibly distinguished from S. saprophyticus strains from respiratory tract infections (n = 5) by distinct electrophoretic mobility. Thus, the method of “bacteriopheresis” may offer a new approach to discriminate pathogenic microbial strains of different origin with respect to defined surface structures (hemagglutinins, lectins), generating distinct surface charges.
