A proportion of S. saprophyticus in other coagulase-negative staphylococcal isolates from the urine of patients with urinary infections and healthy individuals has been investigated. Certain diagnostic aspect of the urinary infections with S. saprophyticus have also been considered. Hundred four coagulase-negative staphylococcal strains isolated from patients in S?upsk and Gda?sk area and 72 strains of the coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from the urine of healthy women have been divided into 9 species, according to Kloos and Schleifers' classification. Bacteriologic tests have shown that S. saprophyticus produced 20.4% of the urinary tract infections in S?upsk area holding the second place after S. haemolyticus (27.3%). This species was the most infrequent in the urine of patients in Gda?sk area (3.3%). Its sensitivity to antibiotics did not differ from that of other coagulase-negative staphylococci. In contrast to the majority of other strains, S. saprophyticus has not been isolated from the urinary tract of healthy women and has been encountered most frequently in low bacteriuria. Test of resistance to novobiocin which is considered as a simplified identification method of this species proved to be not very precise as other species have also been resistant to this antibiotic.
