Isolates of Staphylococcus intermedius and S. aureus from nasopharynx of human breeding
dogs (37 and 24), their dog's gingiva (27 and 4) and human dog-bite wounds (8 and 2) …

The relationship between virulence and the ability of a strain of Staphylococcus aureus to
produce bound and soluble coagulases was investigated. A virulent strain 18Z of phage …

Staphylococci were the most frequent isolates from clinical specimens submitted from a
large referral and teaching veterinary hospital. In this study a total of 160 isolates were …

Specimens obtained from the skin of healthy dogs and from various surgical and pyogenic
leions were culturally examined for coagulase-positive staphylococci. The isolates of …

Binding of extracellular components of Staphylococcus aureus strain Newman to fibrinogen
and prothrombin was investigated. Affinity-purified material from fibrinogen-and prothrombin …

Staphylococcus intermedius isolates from dogs were tested for coagulase activity by 6
commercial methods and by conventional methods, using rabbit and dog plasma. When …

Of 81 Staphylococcus strains from clinical disease processes in dogs, mostly wounds and
skin diseases, 68 were S. intermedius and 13 S. aureus. Of the 48 typable S. intermedius …

Three mutants were isolated from a single strain of Staphylococcus aureus of known
virulence for rabbits. Two mutants, one lacking the soluble type of coagulase and the other …

The tube coagulase test, an invaluable laboratory tool for identifying Staphylococcus aureus,
is most often done using rabbit plasma. However, there is evidence that depending on the …
