  • Title: A simple and cost-effective cover-glass test for the differentiation between staphylococci and micrococci in clinical laboratory.
    Author: Melter O, Tkadlec J, Sedláček I.
    Journal: J Microbiol Methods; 2012 Jun; 89(3):213-5. PubMed ID: 22446099.
    Abstract:
    A cover-glass placed on a heavily inoculated culture plate clearly differentiates facultatively anaerobic staphylococci growing underneath the cover-glass after overnight incubation from nongrowing aerobic micrococci. Even if there are some exceptions, all medically significant staphylococci can grow in the test. Thus, the test provides a cost-effective and highly specific tool for separation of both genera which fundamentally differ in their pathogenicity.
