Abstract: | A collection of 216 well-characterized strains ofStaphylococcus, Micrococcus andStomatococcus was examined by a commercially available STAPHYtest system (Lachema, Brno, Czechoslovakia). The results of STAPHYtest agreed with those of conventional tests. The STAPHYtest permitted a clear-cut separation ofStaphylococcus fromMicrococcus andStomatococcus strains and correctly identified 104 of 145 (72%)Staphylococcus strains after 24 h of incubation. However, it allowed the identification only of 19 of 29 validly publishedStaphylococcus species. The STAPHYtest proved to be a simple and rapid system for the separation of staphylococci from micrococci and for the identification of most frequent clinically significant staphylococci. |
