Coagulase activity was detected in 99% of 225 strains of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae. These strains included isolates from a variety of animal and environmental sources. Activity could be detected by the tube or slide technique, with the tube reactions being easier to interpret. Coagulation of rabbit and/or bovine plasma was observed, with most strains reacting in both. The activity appeared to be a common characteristic of the species and may be useful in differentiating E. rhusiopathiae from Listeria and Corynebacterium species, which fail to demonstrate the activity. There was no correlation noted between coagulase activity and the serotype, source, geographic origin, or virulence (as detected by mouse pathogenicity tests) of the isolates.
在225株猪丹毒杆菌中，99%检测到凝固酶活性。这些菌株包括来自动物和环境各种来源的分离株。可通过试管法或玻片法检测活性，其中试管反应更易于解读。观察到兔和/或牛血浆发生凝固，大多数菌株在两者中均有反应。该活性似乎是该物种的一个共同特征，可能有助于将猪丹毒杆菌与李斯特菌属和棒状杆菌属区分开来，后两者未表现出该活性。在分离株的凝固酶活性与血清型、来源、地理起源或毒力（通过小鼠致病性试验检测）之间未发现相关性。
