Objective: To determine the prevalence and virulence factors of coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CNS) in prosthetic joint infections (PJI). Method: CNS were isolated of 66 hip and knee PJI from Instituto Nacional de Rehabilitación Luis Guillermo Ibarra Ibarra, México City. Antimicrobial susceptibility and biofilm formation in CNS were determined; icaADBC, aap, bap and embp genes were determined by PCR. Results: Staphylococcus and Staphylococcus hominis were the most prevalent with 82 y 80% respectively. Staphylococcus lugdunensis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staphylococcus capitis, Staphylococcus caprae, Staphylococcus sciuri and Staphylococcus lentus were less frequent. The majority of isolates were resistant to β-lactam antibiotics, fluoroquinolone, and erythromycin. 41% of CNS were biofilm former and 59% were non-biofilm former (p = 0.0551). Biofilm former Staphylococcus epidermidis showed a high presence of icaADBC, aap and embp operons compared to the non-biofilm former isolates (p < 0.05). In contrast, non-S. epidermidis CNS had only the aap gen. Conclusion: S. haemolyticus, S. sciuri and S. lentus are new isolates of PJI not previously reported with virulence factors similar to CNS isolates. Copyright:
