Medium dependence for rapid detection of thermonuclease activity in blood culture broths.
The thermonuclease test for rapid identification of Staphylococcus aureus in blood cultures was evaluated by using 16 different blood culture media and 4 DNase agar media. The reliability of this test was profoundly medium dependent, and the source of the DNase agar was particularly important.
