Relationships among coagulase, enterotoxin, and heat-stable deoxyribonuclease production by Staphylococcus aureus.
The relationship between heat-stable deoxyribonuclease and coagulase production was investigated in the interest of developing more rapid diagnostic and quantitative procedures for distinguishing toxigenic and pathogenic staphylococci from closely related saprophytic organisms.
