The purpose of this study was to determine the minimum number of tests that could be used to differentiate between the coagulase-positive strains of staphylococcus: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus hyicus, and Staphylococcus intermedius. Eighty coagulase-positive strains of each of the three species were examined. The five tests conducted were growth on modified Baird-Parker agar, growth on P agar supplemented with acriflavin, production of acetoin, anaerobic fermentation of mannitol, and presence of beta-galactosidase. Positive test percentages for S. aureus were 100% for growth on modified Baird-Parker agar, 100% for growth on P agar supplemented with acriflavin, 94% for production of acetoin, 99% for anaerobic fermentation of mannitol, and 0% for presence of beta-galactosidase. Positive test percentages for S. intermedius were 0% for growth on modified Baird-Parker agar, 0% for growth on P agar supplemented with acriflavin, 1% for production of acetoin, 0% for anaerobic fermentation of mannitol, and 100% for presence of beta-galactosidase. S. hyicus isolates were negative in all five tests. Results from the 240 coagulase-positive staphylococcus strains tested would suggest correct identification of coagulase-positive staphylococci with P agar supplemented with acriflavin and the beta-galactosidase test. These two tests are simple to conduct and result in quick and easy differentiation of the three coagulase-positive staphylococcal species.
金黄色葡萄球菌、猪葡萄球菌和中间葡萄球菌。对这三个菌种的80株凝固酶阳性菌株进行了检测。进行的五项测试分别是在改良的贝尔德-帕克琼脂上生长、在添加吖啶黄素的P琼脂上生长、产乙酰甲基甲醇、甘露醇厌氧发酵以及β-半乳糖苷酶的存在情况。金黄色葡萄球菌在改良的贝尔德-帕克琼脂上生长的阳性测试百分比为100%,在添加吖啶黄素的P琼脂上生长的阳性测试百分比为100%,产乙酰甲基甲醇的阳性测试百分比为94%,甘露醇厌氧发酵的阳性测试百分比为99%,β-半乳糖苷酶存在情况的阳性测试百分比为0%。中间葡萄球菌在改良的贝尔德-帕克琼脂上生长的阳性测试百分比为0%,在添加吖啶黄素的P琼脂上生长的阳性测试百分比为0%,产乙酰甲基甲醇的阳性测试百分比为1%,甘露醇厌氧发酵的阳性测试百分比为0%,β-半乳糖苷酶存在情况的阳性测试百分比为100%。猪葡萄球菌分离株在所有五项测试中均为阴性。对240株凝固酶阳性葡萄球菌菌株的检测结果表明,使用添加吖啶黄素的P琼脂和β-半乳糖苷酶测试可正确鉴定凝固酶阳性葡萄球菌。这两项测试操作简单,能快速轻松地区分三种凝固酶阳性葡萄球菌菌种。
