title: Coagulase typing of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from animals.
abstract: Coagulase typing was performed on Staphylococcus aureus isolated from various animals. Of the 383 strains examined, 209 (54.6%) strains were typable and could be differentiated into 8 coagulase types. The remaining 174 strains were non-typable with antisera against the 8 known types of coagulases. This suggests that many strains of S. aureus of animal origin may possess unknown types of coagulases.
