Evaluation of a rapid slide agglutination test for identification of Staphylococcus aureus

This study compared the Staph Latex Kit (Remel) with two other rapid agglutination tests (Staphaurex Plus (Murex) and Staphyloslide (Becton Dickinson Microbiological Systems)) and the tube coagulase test. The Staph Latex Kit, Staphaurex Plus, Staphyloslide, and Tube Coagulase correctly identified 98...

Zusammenfassung:	This study compared the Staph Latex Kit (Remel) with two other rapid agglutination tests (Staphaurex Plus (Murex) and Staphyloslide (Becton Dickinson Microbiological Systems)) and the tube coagulase test. The Staph Latex Kit, Staphaurex Plus, Staphyloslide, and Tube Coagulase correctly identified 98.4%, 100%, 99.5%, and 99.5%, of 191 staphylococcal isolates, respectively.
