Ten atypical strains of Staphylococcus aureus were examined and compared with previously characterized S. aureus strains. Five of the strains were sent to two hospital microbiology laboratories for identification. All of the mucoid strains were misidentified when tested by standardized coagulase, DNase, and mannitol fermentation criteria, as well as by an automated identification method, but were accurately identified by the API system (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.). These results illustrate the possibility of misidentification when reliance is placed on a few key characteristics rather than a thorough characterization of unusual Staphylococcus isolates.
对十株非典型金黄色葡萄球菌菌株进行了检测，并与先前已鉴定特征的金黄色葡萄球菌菌株进行了比较。其中五株菌株被送往两家医院微生物实验室进行鉴定。当通过标准化的凝固酶、脱氧核糖核酸酶和甘露醇发酵标准以及自动鉴定方法进行检测时，所有黏液样菌株均被误鉴定，但通过API系统（Analytab Products公司，纽约州普莱恩维尤）能够准确鉴定。这些结果表明，若仅依赖少数关键特征而非对不寻常葡萄球菌分离株进行全面鉴定，就有可能出现误鉴定的情况。
