Abstract
A comparison of the two micromethods revealed differences in their ability to assign staphylococcal species to Gram- and catalase-positive, coagulase-negative cocci isolated from sheep. The ID32 STAPH was unable to differentiate slow growing staphylococci from micrococci. This micromethod assigned staphylococcal species to only 54% of test isolates compared to 73.8% assigned by the API Staph. The basal media and time of incubation of the ID32 STAPH system should be further studied before this micromethod is recommended in the identification of staphylococci from sheep.
