Abstract:
We collected 3,397 consecutive isolates of coagulase-positive staphylococci from various specimens of hospitalized patients. All were retrospectively classified as Staphylococcus aureus, except two which were identified as S. intermedius: one isolated from the nasal flora of a healthy carrier and the other isolated from pleural fluid, probably as a sample contaminant.
