Identification of Staphylococcus species of bovine origin with the DMS Staph-Trac system.

B E Langlois, R J Harmon and K Akers

ABSTRACT

The DMS Staph-Trac system was evaluated as a means for identifying the species of bovine strains of staphylococci routinely isolated from quarter-milk samples. The species identity of 83 of 91 (91.2%) isolates of staphylococci was correctly determined by this method. One isolate could not be identified by this system. The Staph-Trac system was able to distinguish between Staphylococcus hyicus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. We obtained a higher percentage of correct identifications with the DMS Staph-Trac system (91.2%) than we did in a previous study with the API Staph-Ident system (45.1%), using the same isolates (Langlois et al., J. Clin. Microbiol. 18:1212-1219, 1983).
