[ORIDES--orientational identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci from human clinical material].

In the National reference laboratory for staphylococci in the National Institute of Public Health in Prague a new dichotomic schema ORIDES was elaborated for the preliminary identification of 17 species of coagulase-negative staphylococci which can be isolated from human clinical material. Tests of 986 strains revealed that ORIDES can serve rapid and cheap assessment of these bacteria, the importance of which is increasing.
