Title: A blood culture yields yellow-pigmented, beta-hemolytic, catalase-positive, gram-positive cocci in c Post by: lubadub on Mar 5, 2016 A blood culture yields yellow-pigmented, beta-hemolytic, catalase-positive, gram-positive cocci in clusters. The department is out of Staphylococcus latex agglutination reagent. The microbiologist sets up a tube coagulase and mannitol salt agar. She incubates both at 35°C in CO2 overnight. The next day the coagulase test is negative and the mannitol salt agar displays yellow colonies. How will you proceed with these results?
a. Report this organism as Staphylococcus aureus b. Report this organism as Staphylococcus not S. aureus c. Repeat the tests due to invalid results d. Test the organism for novobiocin resistance Title: Re: A blood culture yields yellow-pigmented, beta-hemolytic, catalase-positive, gram-positive cocci Post by: rawemotions on Mar 24, 2016 Content hidden
