Some features of coagulase positive staphylococci from bovine milk. II. Comparison of conventional techniques and the API Staph system.

چکیده
A total of 150 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus were subjected to the tests on the API Staph system. Of these, 50 were also tested by conventional methods, using the same tests as those found on the API Staph strips. Applying the principles of numerical taxonomy, the relationship between these isolates was 82% and more. Tests for the metabolism of sucrose and N-acetyl-glucosamine and for the production of argenine dihydrolysate and urease appear to be superfluous in the identification of S. aureus in this system.

Performance of API Staph ID 32 and Staph-Zym for identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from bovine milk samples.
In this study, the accuracy of two phenotypic tests, API Staph ID 32 and Staph-Zym, was determined for identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) from bovine milk samples in comparison with identification based on DNA-sequencing. A total of 172 CNS isolated from bovine milk were classified into 17 species. The most frequently isolated species based on rpoB sequencing were Staphylo...
متن کاملSome features of coagulase positive staphylococci from bovine milk. 1. Carbohydrate metabolism: comparison of conventional techniques and the API 50 CH system.
When conventional techniques were applied to 84 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus from milk samples, it was found that they were all catalase and phosphatase positive and oxidase negative. They all fermented glucose within 24 h and mannitol within 24-48 h when inoculated into Hugh & Leifson's medium, enriched with 1% horse serum. When they were subjected to the carbohydrates of the API 50 CH sy...
متن کاملComparison of the MicroScan system with the API Staph-Ident system for species identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci.
To evaluate the accuracy of the MicroScan System (American Hospital Supply Corp., Sacramento, Calif.) for identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci, we tested 175 clinical isolates of coagulase-negative staphylococci. The results obtained by the MicroScan system were compared with those of the API Staph-Ident system (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.). Forty-three discrepancies betwee...
متن کاملClinical comparison of the AutoMicrobic system gram-positive identification card, API Staph-Ident, and conventional methods in the identification of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus spp.
In an effort to rapidly identify coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), a clinical comparison was conducted with the AutoMicrobic system Gram-Positive Identification Card (GPI) (Vitek Systems, Inc.), the API Staph-Ident (Analytab Products), and the conventional methods of W. E. Kloos and K. H. Schleifer (W. E. Kloos and K. H. Schleifer, J. Clin. Microbiol. 1:82-88, 1975). CNS isolates tested i...
متن کاملRibotyping of Staphylococcus caprae isolated from goat milk.
The usefulness of the API-STAPH system and a method based on ribosomal fingerprinting was evaluated by studying 89 coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from goat milk. The bacteria were supposed to belong to the species Staphylococcus caprae. The results obtained from the API-STAPH system showed variations in their phenotypic features. DNA cleavage with EcoRI yielded six ribotypes and thre...
