  • Title: Two coagulase-variant forms of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from blood cultures.
    Author: Fung JC, Kaplan MH, Hsieh HC, Stephens A, Tyburski MB, Tenenbaum MJ.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 1984 Jul; 20(1):115-7. PubMed ID: 6746882.
    Abstract:
    Two coagulase-variant forms of Staphylococcus aureus were isolated from blood cultures of a patient with infective endocarditis. The coagulase-positive isolate was hemolytic, whereas the coagulase-negative isolate was nonhemolytic. All other properties examined were identical in both strains. Since coagulase-negative S. aureus strains have been isolated from clinical specimens, laboratories should consider using a combination of other biological properties along with coagulase production for the identification of S. aureus.
