Rapid, automated identification of novobiocin-resistant, coagulase-negative staphylococci

C M Mendes et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1985 Aug.

Abstract

A modified automated method that uses the MS-2 system (Abbott Laboratories, Diagnostics Div., Irving, Tex.) to verify the reaction of coagulase-negative staphylococci to novobiocin is described. This technique permits the testing of a great number of specimens in an average time of 99 min and results in a 100% match with the traditional method of culturing.
