Identification of Staphylococcus aureus by simultaneous use of tube coagulase and thermonuclease tests

A L Barry et al. Appl Microbiol. 1973 Mar.

Abstract

A simple system is described for efficiently detecting both thermonuclease (heat-stable nuclease) and free coagulase for the routine identification of Staphylococcus aureus in the clinical laboratory. Valid discrepancies between these two tests are rare enough to permit the use of one test as a control of the other.
