Abstract
A simple agar plate system based on susceptibility to lysostaphin and bacitracin to differentiate between staphylococci and micrococci is described. The system also uses susceptibility to novobiocin to aid in identification to species level of staphylococci. Growth from the agar plate can be used to prepare inocula for inoculation of rapid identification systems.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
