33
Q

What two ways can you differentiate S Aureus from other staph

A

Coagulase Test - S Aureus coagulates rabbit plasma
Blood Agar - S Aurues = Yellow
(Other staph do nothing)

34

It is more virulent

Coagulase and DNAase

A

Pseuodomonas Aureguniso

40
Q

What bacteria is found on a negative Oxidase test

A

Salmonella and Shigella

41
Q
