Abstract:
A medium which incorporates CAMP factor produced by Streptococcus agalactiae (group B) into sheep blood agar was used to culture and identify coagulase-positive staphylococci from bovine milk. Of 506 staphylococcal isolates from bovine milk, 92.5% of coagulase-positive organisms produced a wide zone of complete hemolysis, whereas 98.9% of coagulase-negative organisms did not. The agreement of this one-step culture and identification test with the standard tube coagulase test was higher than that of the deoxyribonuclease test medium, Baird-Parker egg yolk medium, tellurite glycine medium and slide coagulase tests.
