21
Q

Positive result and indication:

  1. Catalase test
  2. Coagulase test
  3. Dnase test
  4. Novobiocin susceptibility test
  5. Germ tube test
A
  1. Effervescence or bubbling - positive for staph
  2. Coagulase test - clot and gel (slide and tube) - detect bound and free
    - positive for sau
  3. DNASE test
    No indicator - clear
    Methyl Green - colorless at ph 7.5
    Toluidine Blue O - Bright pink color
  4. Novobiocin - saphro is resistant (zone < or = 16mm) no zone or less than or equal to 16mm
  5. Germ tube - presence of germ tube indicates candida organism
