Pathogenicity and Classification of Staphylococci

Abstract

An important pathogenic property was found in the power to coagulate citrated blood. This ability is possessed only by staph. from purulent processes. The biochemical activity or pathogenicity generally has a parallel ascent with the appearance of hemolysis (with 1% rabbit blood agar), milk coagulation and coagulation of citrated blood. Pathogenicity is determined also by means of a new method of rabbit inoculation. The staph. are classified in three groups according to experimental and fermentive activity: (1) non- fermentive, (2) fermentive saprophytes, and (3) suppurative parasites.
