This study evaluated the reliability of the latex slide agglutination test for identifying Staphylococcus aureus. A total of 806 clinical isolates of staphylococci were tested for latex agglutination, clumping factor, and free coagulase. Positive latex tests occurred in 98.3% of coagulase-positive strains, whereas 99.6% of coagulase-negative strains gave negative latex tests. It is concluded that in most instances, the latex slide agglutination test is a reliable method for identifying S. aureus in the clinical laboratory.
本研究评估了乳胶玻片凝集试验用于鉴定金黄色葡萄球菌的可靠性。共对806株葡萄球菌临床分离株进行了乳胶凝集试验、凝聚因子和游离凝固酶检测。98.3%的凝固酶阳性菌株乳胶试验呈阳性,而99.6%的凝固酶阴性菌株乳胶试验呈阴性。得出结论:在大多数情况下,乳胶玻片凝集试验是临床实验室鉴定金黄色葡萄球菌的可靠方法。
