The test media that you will run for identification depends on which category your organism falls in.
S aureus and S intermedius are coagulase positive. All other staphylococci are coagulase negative. They are salt tolerant and often hemolytic. Identification requires biotype analysis. Natural Habitat. S aureus colonizes the nasal passage and axillae. S epidermidis is a common human skin commensal.
4 Οκτ 2022 · Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are part of normal human skin flora [1]. While the virulence of these organisms is relatively low, they can cause clinically significant infections of the bloodstream and other tissue sites.
