Title: [Classification and biological characteristics of coagulase-positive Staphylococci isolated from animals]. Author: Akatov AK, Samsonova TM, Khatenever ML, Kushko IV, Shiriaeva VI. Journal: Zh Mikrobiol Epidemiol Immunobiol; 1983 Jan; (1):29-33. PubMed ID: 6837194. Abstract: A total of 165 coagulase-positive staphylococcal strains of different origin (142 S. aureus strains and 23 S. intermedius strains) were subjected to biological typing in accordance with the schemes of Hajek-Marsalek and Meyer-Witte. The former of these schemes permitted to identify 68% and the latter 18% of S. aureus strains. The cultures isolated from swine and chickens had the most uniform composition: 85-86% of the strains belonged to biotype B. 44% of the strains isolated from cows and sheep belonged to biotypes C (ecovars bovis and ovis) and A (ecovar hominis); the rest of the strains could not be identified. 96% of the strains isolated from minks were made up of S. intermedius, more than a half of them belonging to biotype E (ecovar canis). In 80% of S. aureus strains and 48% S. intermedius cultures protein A was detected. Only 9% of S. aureus strains of animal origin were found capable of producing enterotoxins (A-D). The expediency of working out a unified scheme for the biotyping of coagulase-positive staphylococci is discussed.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
