Staphylococcus pseudintermedius confirmed by biochemical
test
To
determine the subgroup of the isolated staphylococcus , its
biochemical reactions to 16 designated reagents were tested. The results
in Table 2 showed that the designated reagents including sucrose, urea,
arginine dihydrolase, xylose, lactose, mannose, maltose, trehalose,
N-acetylglucosamine and fructose are positive to the isolated strain,
but negative for wood alcohol, mannitol, nitrate, VP-MR, melibiose and
sorbitol. Especially, the positive responses to maltose, trehalose and
mannitol in Fig.3 can confirm that the isolated pathogenic bacterial isStaphylococcus pseudintermedius , but not Staphylococcus
intermedia and Staphylococcus delphini .
