Evaluation of Two Commercial Systems and a New Identification Scheme Based on Solid Substrates for Identifying Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci from Bovine Mastitis

Summary Coagulase‐negative staphylococci (CNS), mainly isolated from bovine mastitis (n = 89, representing 11 different species), were used to evaluate two commercial identification systems: ID 32 Staph and Staph‐Zym. The level of agreement between the ID 32 Staph and Staph‐Zym systems and conventio...

Description
Summary:	Summary Coagulase‐negative staphylococci (CNS), mainly isolated from bovine mastitis (n = 89, representing 11 different species), were used to evaluate two commercial identification systems: ID 32 Staph and Staph‐Zym. The level of agreement between the ID 32 Staph and Staph‐Zym systems and conventional methods was 77 and 94 %, respectively. An alternative method, based on solid biochemical substrates, is also presented. This can be used for identifying novobiocin‐sensitive CNS strains from bovine mastitis.
