PURPOSE: Peritonitis is a serious complication of peritoneal dialysis and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CNS) is the most frequent cause of peritoneal dialysis (PD)-infections in many centers. This study aimed to investigate the molecular epidemiology of CNS isolated from PD-peritonitis in a Brazilian single center, focusing on the genetic determinants conferring methicillin resistance. METHODS: Bacterial strains were isolated from peritoneal fluid of patients presenting PD-peritonitis, identified by phenotypic and molecular methods, and those identified as CNS were submitted to mecA detection, SCCmec, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). RESULTS: Over the 18-year period of this study (1995-2011), a total of 878 peritonitis episodes were diagnosed in this unit, 115 were caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci of which 72 by Staphylococcus epidermidis. mecA gene was detected in 55 CNS (47.8%), more frequently on the more recent years. SCCmec type III was the most frequent cassette, followed by SCCmec type IV and SCCmec type II. A diverstity of pulsotypes was observed among the S. epidermidis isolates, but five clusters (based on the 80% cutoff) were identified. Diversified sequence types (ST02, ST05, ST06, ST09, ST23, ST59 and ST371) were detected. CONCLUSIONS: Detection of SCCmec type III among coagulase-negative Staphylococcus underscores the role of hospital environments as potential source of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus causing peritonitis in PD patients.
