| 1. | Bound coagulase is part of the larger family of MSCRAMM.
|
| 2. | Strains of this species were originally isolated from otters and are coagulase-positive.
|
| 3. | Coagulase reacts with prothrombin in the blood.
|
| 4. | If the slide coagulase test is negative, a tube test should follow as a confirmation.
|
| 5. | It is coagulase-negative and is probably a commensal organism on the skin of humans.
|
| 6. | All species were once thought to be coagulase-positive, but this has since been disproven.
|
| 7. | It is identitified as a species of coagulase-negative staphylococci ( CoNS ) using the coagulase test.
|
| 8. | It is identitified as a species of coagulase-negative staphylococci ( CoNS ) using the coagulase test.
|
| 9. | In the laboratory, it can give a positive slide-coagulase test but a negative tube-coagulase test.
|
| 10. | In the laboratory, it can give a positive slide-coagulase test but a negative tube-coagulase test.
