[Neuraminidase activity of staphylococci].
141 S. aureus and S. epidermidis strains, isolated from the personnel of obstetric wards by taking smears from the anterior sections of the nose, have been tested for their capacity for neuraminidase production. The test has been carried out by the thiobarbiturate method in a medium with ovomucin added. Neuraminidase activity has been found to be characteristic mostly of S. aureus strains isolated from constant carriers.
