Coagulase-negative staphylococcal prosthetic valve endocarditis has a mortality of 24–36% [8,10]. Although neonatal coagulase-negative infections carry relatively low mortality at 0.3–1.6%, these infections are associated with morbidity and prolonged hospital stays [8].

Staph infections are caused by bacteria called staphylococcus. They most often affect the skin. They can go away on their own, but sometimes they need to be treated with antibiotics.
Meticillin-Sensitive Staphylococcus. aureus (MSSA) Staphylococcus aureus (often shortened to “Staph”, “Staph aureus” or S. aureus) is a type of bacteria (germ) which lives harmlessly on the skin and in the noses, in about one third of people.
ICD-10-CM Code for Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere B95. 62.
MSSA Bacteremia occurs when the MSSA bacteria enter your bloodstream. This is a serious infection that has a high risk of complications and death. Once it's in the bloodstream, the infection often spreads to other organs and tissues within the body such as the heart, lungs, or brain.

Septicemia – There is NO code for septicemia in ICD-10. Instead, you're directed to a combination 'A' code for sepsis to indicate the underlying infection, such A41. 9 (Sepsis, unspecified organism) for septicemia with no further detail.

Coagulase-negative staphylococci are competitors against S. aureus, a common pathogen, on the surface of normal skin. All organisms use quorum–sensing systems in which virulence factors are only expressed in a dense population of bacteria that is adapting to a changing environment.
Coagulase-negative staphylococci are usually are inoculated at the time of surgery, but remain indolent and is only present between 3 months and two years later. S. epidermidis is the main pathogen in these infections with a few cases being caused by S. lugdunensis.
Clinical signs such as fever, hypotension and leukocytosis are helpful in differentiating between true infections from coagulase-negative staphylococcal contamination [2]. Certain microbiological findings can support a diagnosis of infection, as opposed to contamination.
They were first identified by the microbiologists Louis Pasteur and Alexander Ogston in the 1880s [1]. Coagulase-negative staphylococci are an important part of normal skin microbiota, and they also colonise mucous membranes in adults and children from a few weeks of age [1]. Staphylococci prefer humid areas and are therefore commonly found in ...
Coagulase-negative staphylococcus, predominantly S. epidermidis, is the culprit pathogen in 25% of pacemaker infections. About 25% of infections occur within 1–2 months of insertion of the device, due to inoculation at the time of placement of the device. Symptoms include inflammation at the pacer pocket site, systemic bacteraemia, and right-sided endocarditis.
Until two decades ago, coagulase-negative staphylococci were commonly perceived as contaminants in clinical specimens. Now, with the increasing use of implanted medical equipment, they have become leading pathogens for nosocomial infections owing to their ability to form biofilms on foreign material [1,2].
Coa gulase-negative staphylococci are gram-positive, aerobic organisms distinguished from the closely related Staphylococcus aureus by the group's inability to form coagulase, an enzyme that promotes thrombus formation via the conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin [2].
Most strains are also resistant to methicillin due to mecA-mediated production of PBP2A. Further complicating the picture is the fact that phenotypic expression of methicillin resistance is much more heterotypic than observed in S. aureus.
Their pathogenic potential resides in their ability to colonize biomaterials and cause medical device infections. CoNS, largely S. epidermidis, are the leading cause of nosocomial bloodstream infections and are responsible for approximately 30% of these infections, which are chiefly due to intravascular catheters.
In addition, neonates and neutropenic patients are at higher risk of infection. S. saprophyticus causes urinary tract infection in pre-menopausal, sexually active women.
Orthopedic Infections: CoNS cause 30-45% of prosthetic joint infections. Although it is believed that most of these infections stem from contamination of the device at the time of implantation, the presentation of infection may be delayed for months or years.
Vascular Graft Infection: 20-30% of vascular graft infections are caused by CoNS. Infections usually present in an indolent fashion over weeks to months with a false aneurysm, fistula, or sinus track at the graft site. Blood cultures may be negative, because the infection may not extend into the graft lumen.
Vancomycin is generally the cornerstone for treatment of infections due to S. epidermidis and other CoNS, because 80-90% of strains responsible for nosocomial infections are resistant to semi-synthetic, penicillinase-stable penicillins, such as oxacillin and nafcillin. Dosing of vancomycin is based on actual weight and renal function.
