title: [Value of the study of fibrinogen affinity in the identification of Staphylococcus aureus. Results of a multicenter study].
abstract: The passive haemagglutination reaction for detecting the Staphylococcus aureus fibrinogen affinity was done in a collaborative study. The test was compared to the major tests used in medical microbiology. The test was as efficient as the protein A or coagulase tests. Its simplicity, rapidity and specificity make it a useful tool for the diagnosis of this species.
