Rapid Method of Determining Coagulase Activity During Staphylococcal Bacteriophage Typing

Rapid Method of Determining Coagulase Activity During Staphylococcal Bacteriophage Typing Rapid Method of Determining Coagulase Activity During Staphylococcal Bacteriophage Typing Anita K. Highsmith and Emmett B. Shotts 1 Veterinary Public Health Laboratory, Epidemiology Branch, Communicable Disease Center, U.S. Public Health Service, Atlanta, Georgia ABSTRACT The plate test, a modification of the slide test described by Cadness-Graves was developed for the rapid identification of coagulase-positive staphylococci in conjunction with bacteriophage typing. An evaluation of 1,145 cultures by three coagulase-determination methods, the slide, tube, and plate tests, indicates that the plate test is as accurate as the slide tests, and the plate test agrees 97.7% with the tube test. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Applied and Environmental Microbiology American Society For Microbiology
