title: [Detection of staphylococcal clumping factor with purified fibrinogen].
abstract: A modified method of detecting staphylococcal clumping factor with purified fibrinogen was introduced. The results showed that the method was simple and concordant with the one with rabbit plasma. Moreover, the results were easy to observe. The traditional method with human plasma was found to be likely to produce false positive.
