Abstract:
The special position of Staphylococcus intermedius in comparison with Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Staphylococcus chromogenes, and Staphylococcus hyicus was shown by deamination of adenine to hypoxanthine. S. chromogenes and S. hyicus converted adenine to adenosine. Estimation of adenine conversion may be used for differentiation of S. intermedius from other coagulase-positive staphylococci.
