<p>The invention concerns a medium for specific detection of Staphylococcus aureus- and/or discrimination between positive-coagulase Staphylococcus and negative-coagulase enabling Staphylococcus to isolate bacteria of the genus staphylococcus and identify the Staphylococcus aureus species, which use at least an enzymatic substrate, preferably a chromogenic or fluorescent agent, and still more preferably consisting of an indoxyl or naphthol base. The invention also concerns a method for identifying, and optionally counting, Staphylococcus aureus using such a medium. It consists of a Staphylococcus aureus culture medium and at least an enzymatic substrate enabling testing of an α-glucosidase activity. The invention is particularly applicable in the field of diagnosis.</p> |
