The generally accepted identifying characteristic of Staphylococcus aureus is the ability to produce free and bound coagulase (or clumping factor). The presence of clumping factor may be detected in a number of ways.
Identify 40 different staphylococci and related genera in just four hours using the Thermo Scientific™ RapID™ STAPH PLUS System, an identification system based on enzyme technology.
Identify staphylococci which possess clumping factor, protein A, and/or surface antigens, including those characteristic of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Methicillin Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) strains, using the Thermo Scientific™ Staphaurex™ Plus Latex...
Rapidly identify Staphylococcus aureus and distinguish from other staphylococci by detecting clumping factor and protein A using the Thermo Scientific™ BactiStaph™ Latex.
Rapidly identify and differentiate staphylococci which possess coagulase and/or protein A, particularly Staphylococcus aureus, using the Thermo Scientific™ Staphaurex™ Latex Agglutination Test.
Rapidly detect staphylococcal enterotoxins A, B, C and D in food samples or culture filtrates with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Staphylococcal Enterotoxin Reversed Passive Latex Agglutination Kit (SET-RPLA).
Simplify the identification of staphylococci, including staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), with the Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Microbact™ Staph Fast Blue Reagent Set. This set is used in the Beta-galactosidase test for fast, reliable and easy-to-read results.
Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid Staphylococcal Exfoliative Toxins A and B Detection Kit is used for detection of Staphylococcal exfoliative toxins A and B using reverse passive latex agglutination (EXT-RPLA).
Detect coagulase enzyme in staphylococci with Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Coagulase Plasma. The enzyme coagulase acts on a constituent of rabbit plasma to produce a thrombin-like substance which activates fibrinogen to form fibrin clot. In 1940, Fairbrother and Chapman et al.
Simplify the identification of staphylococci, including staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), with the Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Microbact™ Staphylococcal 12S Kit. Each strip incorporates 12 tests based on sugar utilization and colorimetric enzyme detection.
(See a list of the products featured in this article.) Biofilms, a community life form of bacteria, are organized ensembles of sessile bacterial cells embedded in a self-produced matrix. The majority of chronic, antibiotic-resistant microbial infections are thought to be associated with biofilms.
