1 Dec 1996
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus epidermidis is an aerobic gram-positive coccus that is now recognized among the coagulase-negative staphylococci as an etiological agent with an important range of pathogenicity in humans. Several diagnostic kits based on biochemical or immunological reactions can efficiently identify Staphylococcus aureus. However, these tests are often unreliable for the identification of coagulase-negative...
