Evaluation of reagent-impregnated coagulase-mannitol test strip for speciation of staphylococci.
A new coagulase-mannitol reagent-impregnated strip test has been evaluated with 322 Micrococcaceae. Mannitol fermentation was determined accurately by this test; however, the coagulase reaction was difficult to interpret and was subject to significant error.
