Abstract:: The need for better procedures for detecting Staphylococcus aureus prompted an investigation to improve coagulase testing. The rates of coagulase clotting were studied by using varying concentrations of trypsin inhibitor and coagulase-reacting factor (CRF). Egg white trypsin inhibitor activated coagulase clotting when added to a final concentration between 2 and...

Creator:: Park, Sue Sookja
Abstract:: The effect of different oxygen atmospheres on growth, energy charge and enterotoxin production of Staphylococcus aureus was investigated. Three atmospheres, air, 5% oxygen in nitrogen and 20% oxygen in nitrogen, were tested on three strains producing enterotoxins A, B and C. Colony forming units (CFU), dry weight, dissolved oxygen, pH,...
