Q

Culture of staph aureus

A
  • Facultative anaerobes, optimum temperature: 37 ยฐC, normal atmospheric CO2
  • Can grow on ordinary media.
  • S. aureus produce golden yellow endopigments.
  • S. aureus causes ฮฒ-hemolysis on blood agar.
  • Selective media is mannitol salt agar, where S.aureus ferments mannitol and salt inhibits other normal flora

Q

How are colonies of staph aureus identified?

A
  • Film stained by Gram for characteristic morphology.
  • Biochemical reactions:
    โœ“ All staphylococci are catalase positive.
    โœ“ S. aureus is coagulase and DNAase positive and ferment mannitol.
