Different ELISA tests to detect and quantify levels of S. aureus in broth cultures were
developed and compared. In all cases the assays were a modification of a “sandwich” format …

A sensitive method for the detection of S. aureus protein A, which would be of interest in
taxonomy and clinical bacteriology, has been established, using passive hemagglutination …

Rabbit antiserum, specific for protein A from Staphylococcus aureus, was conjugated to
alkaline phosphatase and used in a double antibody solid-phase enzyme immunoassay …

A latex agglutination assay for the detection of protein A-secreting Staphylococcus aureus
strains or strains with protein A in the cell wall is described. The assay utilizes latex particles …

A simple, rapid mixed agglutination test using sheep erythrocytes (SRBC) sensitized with
rabbit hemolysin and intact viable staphylococci is described for the detection of bound …

Staphylococcal protein A, a cell wall component of several strains of Staphylococcus aureus
has found many uses as a research tool, as a diagnostic reagent and even as a possible …

Background: Screening for staphylococci among various patient populations has become
important for appropriate therapeutic management and for control of nosocomial infections …

A new immunoenzymatic assay (IEA) for the identification of Staphylococcus aureus strains
of both human and animal origin was compared with rapid commercial kits. The sensitivities …

The tube coagulase test is the reference method for identification of Staphylococcus aureus
but various more rapid methods have become available commercially over the last few …

Various commercially produced agglutination kits are widely used for the identification of
Staphylococcus aureus. These kits detect the presence of protein A and/or clumping factor …
