The coagulase reaction is recognized as the property most closely associated with pathogenicity of the staphylococci.

It is suggested that the serologic classification of staphylococci may be valuable in epidemiologic studies of staphylococcal infections. Toxigenic staphylococci produce characteristic clinical and cardiovascular responses when injected intravenously into rabbits. These reactions are absent when nontoxigenic strains are similarly injected. Animals may be protected from these effects by the use of antitoxin.
