METHOD OF SPECIFIC DIFFERENTIAL STAPHYLOCOCCI DIAGNOSTICS Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC G01N33/50 C12Q1/04 C12Q1/14 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, specifically to microbiology and epidemiology. Method implies differential testing of biological properties of staphylococci isolated from clinical material and from environment using classical nutrient mediums and standard incubation conditions, and provides detection of guiding signs: coagulation factor, plasmacoagulase and urease enzymes, novobiocin sensitivity. It enables to group staphylococci using combined signs selected from group: evaluation of hemolytic activity, colonies rate, β-galactosidase, chromogenesis, culture growth in incubation conditions at temperature 45°C in anaerobic environment, decomposition of saccharose, galactose, mannitol, mannose, xylose and arabinose. Specific property of agent is defined on basis of signs mentioned above. Invention provides increased reliability of specific differential staphylococci diagnostics and reduced analysis time.

EFFECT: increased reliability of specific differential staphylococci diagnostics and reduced analysis time.
