Descriptions

Simplify the identification of staphylococci, including?staphylococcus aureus?and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), with the Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Microbact™ Staphylococcal 12S Kit. Each strip incorporates 12 tests based on sugar utilization and colorimetric enzyme detection. The sugar utilization tests rely on a pH indicator color change, while the enzyme detection substrates produce a colored end product or react with an added indicator. Each Staphylococcus?spp. produces a different pattern of reactions, allowing the definitive identification of 22 clinically relevant species.

Coagulase-negative staphylococci have become important nosocomial pathogens due, in part, to the increased use of immunosuppressive regimes and indwelling medical devices. As a result, it has become imperative for clinical microbiology laboratories to identify CNS and other staphylococci to species level8. With this kit,?Staphylococcus?spp. are quickly and accurately identified so that proper, fast treatment for the patient may follow.?
