      comparison.
PG  - 237-9
AB  - Two-hundred-fifty-five staphylococcal isolates (clinical) were tested for both 
      free coagulase (CGase) and thermostable nuclease (TNase) production. 
      Two-hundred-ten of the 255 isolates were identified as Staphylococcus aureus when 
      both strongly positive TNase and CGase reactions (human and rabbit plasma) were 
      observed with these strains. Forty-five of the 255 isolates were identified as 
      Staphylococcus species, other than S. aureus when either weakly positive TNase 
      and CGase (rabbit plasma) reactions or negative TNase and CGase (rabbit and human 
      plasma) reactions were observed. This experiment suggest that the identification 
      of staphylococcal isolates as S. aureus can be based upon demonstration of both 
      strongly positive TNase and CGase reactions.
