Pour-Plate Method for the Detection of Coagulase Production by Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract: A pour-plate method is described for the detection of coagulase production by Staphylococcus aureus . Either Brain Heart Infusion agar or yeast extract-Trypticase soy agar containing swine plasma was the best medium for the detection of coagulase by this method. The advantages of this method and its potential utilization in the clinical laboratory, in food microbiology, and in specialized studies with S. aureus are discussed.

“…This method was carried out to investigate the clumping factor enzyme-linked to plasma by using a glass slide and placing a drop of blood plasma on it and then adding to it frish colonies of staphylococcus bacteria at an age of (18-24 hr.) developing in the medium of a Brain heart infusion agar and mixed well, where the appearance of clumping within (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) seconds is an indication of the positivity of the test.…”

“…Orth et al (4), in a comparison of several animal plasmas, concluded that heparinized pig plasma was superior to the other sera tested for use in the plate test for coagulase production. The usefulness of pig plasma in the pour plate method for the detection of coagulase production was later confirmed by Parisi et al (5). A limited amount of data is available in the literature for comparing the performance of pig plasma in the tube coagulase test for clinical isolates of S. aureus (K. F. Weiss, R. N. Robbins, and M. S. Bergdoll, Abstr.…”
