Coagulase is tightly bound to the surface of the bacterium " S . aureus " and can coat its surface with fibrin upon contact with blood.

Common abbreviations for coagulase-negative staphylococci are CoNS, CNS, or CNST . The American Society for Microbiology abbreviates coagulase-negative staphylococci as " CoNS ".

24.
Like other coagulase-negative staphylococci, " S . warneri " rarely causes disease, but may occasionally cause infection in patients whose immune system is compromised.
25.
The lecithinase of " S . aureus " is used in detection of coagulase-positive strains, because of high link between lecithinase activity and coagulase activity.

27.
It is catalase-positive, oxidase-negative, and coagulase-negative, and is a common commensal organism found as part of the skin flora on humans and animals.
28.
Like many other coagulase-negative staphylococci, " S . hominis " may occasionally cause infection in patients whose immune systems are compromised, for example by chemotherapy or predisposing illness.
29.
It is sensitive to novobiocin, providing an important test to distinguish it from " Staphylococcus saprophyticus ", which is coagulase-negative, as well, but novobiocin-resistant.
30.
Normal flora found in the adenoid consists of alpha-hemolytic streptococci and enterococci, Corynebacterium species, coagulase-negative staphylococci, Neisseria species, Haemophilus species, Micrococcus species, and Stomatococcus species.
