Comparison of five tests for identification of Staphylococcus aureus from clinical samples.
Five different laboratory tests for the identification of Staphylococcus aureus were compared. Analyses of 271 presumptive S. aureus strains, supplemented with 59 well-defined methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) isolates, were performed. Only the Staphaurex Plus (Murex Diagnostics, Dartford, United Kingdom) and the Pastorex Staphplus (Sanofi, Marnes-La-Coquette, France) tests displayed 100% ...
متن کاملEvaluation of three commercial agglutination tests for the identification of Staphylococcus aureus.
Three commercially available rapid slide agglutination tests for the identification of Staphylococcus aureus were evaluated with 354 recent clinical isolates (165 strains of S. aureus). The test results of two latex agglutination products, SeroSTAT Staph (Scott Laboratories, Inc.) and Staphylatex (American Micro Scan), and one hemagglutination product, Staphyloslide (BBL Microbiology Systems), ...
متن کاملReliability of latex agglutination tests for identification of Staphylococcus aureus resistant to oxacillin.
Commercial latex agglutination tests (LATs) for the simultaneous detection of clumping factor and protein A are gaining increased acceptance as a means of identifying Staphylococcus aureus. We evaluated two LATs (Accu-Staph; Carr-Scarborough, Decatur, Ga.; Staphaurex; Wellcome, Dartford, England) with particular emphasis on their ability to correctly identify oxacillin-resistant S. aureus. We t...
متن کاملEfficacies of rapid agglutination tests for identification of methicillin-resistant staphylococcal strains as Staphylococcus aureus.
Four commercially available rapid agglutination tests for the identification of Staphylococcus aureus were compared with the tube coagulase test for the identification of 300 methicillin-resistant isolates of staphylococci. Isolates tested included 207 methicillin-resistant S. aureus and 93 coagulase-negative staphylococci, collected from five medical centers. Strain variability was documented ...
متن کاملComparison of coagulase , deoxyribonuclease ( DNase ) , and heat - stable nuclease tests for identification of Staphylococcus aureus ROSALIE
One thousand and thirty-five clinical isolates of the genus staphylococcus were used to compare the coagulase test with the deoxyribonuclease (DNase) and heat-stable nuclease tests as methods for identifying Staphylococcus aureus. Conflicting results were obtained with 65 isolates when the coagulase test was compared with the DNase test but with only one isolate when the coagulase test was comp...
