Evaluation of latex agglutination tests for establishing coagulase status of staphylococci from milk.

D. E. Jasper, Fidel Infante Martínez, Jon D. Dellinger

Abstract

A total number of 640 staphylococci isolated from cows' milk were tested by latex agglutination and coagulase tests. About 50% of coagulase positive and 5% of coagulase negative staphylococci were positive to the latex agglutination tests. Latex agglutination tests were found to be not satisfactory for determining the coagulase status of staphylococci isolated from cows' milk.
