Abstract Background: Staphylococcus saprophyticus is the second most common cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in young women. As little is known about the incidence of UTIs caused by this organism in Korea, we examined its frequency and clinical characteristics. Methods: We analyzed the frequency of S. saprophyticus among organisms isolated from urine specimens in Wonju Christian Hospital from July 1996 to June 2008 and reviewed clinical characteristics retrospectively. Results: Of 24,277 strains isolated from urine specimens during the past 12 years, 21 (0.09%) were S. saprophyticus. Outpatients were more common in the S. saprophyticus group than in all patients group (12 of 21, 57% vs

Abstract Microbacterium oxydans, a coryneform gram-positive bacillus, have been isolated from a wide variety of environmental sources and reported its pathogenic potential with increasing frequency in the last few years. Microbacterium comprises more than 60 species. 16S rRNA sequences in different Microbacterium species are highly conserved and the differences of biochemical characteristics between several species are unclear. As a result, identification of Microbacterium to species level has been difficult in most clinical microbiology laboratories. In this article, we report a case of catheter-related bacteremia caused by M. oxydans that was identified by 16S rRNA sequencing analysis and phenotypic characteristics in

Abstract Molecular strain typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is important for the detection of outbreaks of tuberculosis and laboratory cross contamination, as well as the differentiation between re-infection and reactivation of tuberculosis. In the present review, the authors investigated the currently available typing methods for M. tuberculosis and the current status of strain distribution in Korea. IS6110-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), which is considered a standard method, is based on numbers and positions of the insertion sequence, IS6110. The method has an excellent discriminatory power with a considerable amount of worldwide data, although it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Spoligotyping is based

Abstract Background: Multi-drug resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as a significant infectious agent in hospitals worldwide. The purpose of this study was to determine the molecular characterization of MDR A. baumannii clinical isolates. Methods: Two hundred eighty-five strains of non-duplicated A. baumannii collected from March to November 2011 from a university hospital laboratory located in the Wonju area of the Gangwon province of Korea were analyzed for MDR genes. Results: All of the 285 imipenem-resistant A. baumannii isolates

Abstract Roseomonas aerofrigidensis is a gram-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile bacterium, which was first isolated in 2017 in South Korea. We present the first report of the isolation of R. aerofrigidensis from the peritoneal fluid of a 38-year-old woman with a history of metastatic gastric cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis. The isolate was resistant to cotrimoxazole. Further research on clinical and microbiological responses to several antibiotics are warranted. Keywords Gastric Cancer Patient,
