[Detection of "Staphylococcus aureau" protein A on selective culture media (author's transl)]. 1980

N Bornstein, and D Tissot, and J P Flandrois, and J Fleurette

Production of protein A by 100 various animal strains and 106 human strains of Staphylococcus aureus has been detected by conditioned haemagglutination after growth on seven different culture media: agar medium at n degrees 2 and Columbia agar with and without nalidixic acid (10.8 micrograms/ml), Baird-Parker, Chapman and tellurite-glycine-agar media. Rate of protein A-producing strains is as high on nalidixic acid media as on the same media without antibiotic. Baird-Parker, Chapman and tellurite-glycine-agar media are not convenient for protein A detection.

D003470	Culture Media	Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN.	Media, Culture
D006386	Hemagglutination Tests	Sensitive tests to measure certain antigens, antibodies, or viruses, using their ability to agglutinate certain erythrocytes. (From Stedman, 26th ed)	Hemagglutination Test,Test, Hemagglutination,Tests, Hemagglutination
D013205	Staphylococcal Protein A	A protein present in the cell wall of most Staphylococcus aureus strains. The protein selectively binds to the Fc region of human normal and myeloma-derived IMMUNOGLOBULIN G. It elicits antibody activity and may cause hypersensitivity reactions due to histamine release; has also been used as cell surface antigen marker and in the clinical assessment of B lymphocyte function.	Protein A,Protein A, Staphylococcal
D013211	Staphylococcus aureus	Potentially pathogenic bacteria found in nasal membranes, skin, hair follicles, and perineum of warm-blooded animals. They may cause a wide range of infections and intoxications.
