[Clumping-factor-reactions of Staphylococcus aureus of different origin in plasma- and fibrinogen-preparations(author's transl)]. 1981

J Brückler, and U Berlich, and W Schaeg, and H Blobel

The clumping-factor (CF) test in microtiter-plates proved suitable for the preliminary identification of Staphylococcus aureus, provided a "susceptible" plasma- or fibrinogen-preparation had been applied (Table 1). Thus, all of 100 S. aureus-cultures from humans gave strongly positive CF-reactions with plasma from humans, rabbits, pigs, cattle, and dogs as well as with fibrinogen-solutions from humans and cattle. Equally, all of 100 S. aureus-cultures from cattle clumped in plasma from pigs, cattle and humans. All of the 50 S. aureus-cultures from dogs were CF-positive in plasma from dogs, humans and horses. Only part of the CF-positive S. aureus-culture reacted with plasma from sheep and goats.

D003030 Coagulase Enzymes that cause coagulation in plasma by forming a complex with human PROTHROMBIN. Coagulases are produced by certain STAPHYLOCOCCUS and YERSINIA PESTIS. Staphylococci produce two types of coagulase: Staphylocoagulase, a free coagulase that produces true clotting of plasma, and Staphylococcal clumping factor, a bound coagulase in the cell wall that induces clumping of cells in the presence of fibrinogen.

D004285 Dogs The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065) Canis familiaris,Dog
D005340 Fibrinogen Plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. Fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides A and B, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products.

D006736 Horses Large, hoofed mammals of the family EQUIDAE. Horses are active day and night with most of the day spent seeking and consuming food. Feeding peaks occur in the early morning and late afternoon, and there are several daily periods of rest.
