73670-2
LaboratoryBacteria producing coagulase and protein A [Presence] in Isolate by Latex agglutination
Definition
Identification of Staphylococcal isolates, particularly S. aureus, which possess bound coagulase (clumping factor) and/or protein A can be determined by latex agglutination methods. Testing is performed to identify Staphylococcal isolates from other species of staphylococci.
