An innovative kit offering a rapid, sensitive method to detect Staphylococcus aureus which possess coagulase (Clumping factor) and / or protein A, from other species of Staphylococci. Prolex „¢ Staph gives rapid clear results within 20 seconds using blue latex particles against a white background.
SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION Although most Staphylococcus species are
common inhabitants of the skin and mucous membranes, certain
species have been found frequently as etiological agents of a
variety of human and animal infections. Superficial suppurative
infections caused by S. aureus are the most common human
staphylococcal infections. Food poisoning, septicemia, toxic shock
syndrome and many other conditions also have been attributed to S.
aureus. Rapid slide agglutination tests have been shown to be a
reliable method for the identification of S. aureus in the routine
bacteriological laboratory. PRINCIPLE OF THE TEST The Prolex™
Staph Latex Kit utilizes blue polystyrene latex particles that have
been sensitized with fibrinogen and IgG. When Staphylococcal
colonies which possess bound coagulase (clumping factor) and / or
protein A are mixed with the latex reagent, the latex particles
will agglutinate strongly within 20 seconds.
