CULTURE MEDIUM ENABLING THE DIFFERENTIATION OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS FROM COAGULASE-NEGATIVE STAPHYLOCOCCI

摘要

The present invention essentially relates to a specific culture medium for growing, detecting, identifying, and/or counting Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, said medium being characterized in that it comprises at least one fluorogenic, chromogenic, or luminescent phospholipase C substrate. Such a medium makes it possible to differentiate between Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci.
