[Numerical taxonomy of Staphylococci isolated from clinical samples]
Abstract
A taxonomic study of 82 strains of Staphylococci and 6 reference samples isolated from clinical cases was carried out. Results of 47 phenotype tests were submitted to a numerical analysis using the similarity coefficient of Sokal and Michener and a grouping technique (UPGMA). Based on a 75 similarity level, 4 phenons were identified. 37 strains identified as S aureus were grouped in phenon A; 32 strains of S hominis in phenon B; 5 strains of S epidermidis in phenon C and 8 strains of S ssp in phenon D.
