Abstract
A simple, quantitative radial diffusion assay for staphylocoagulase in culture fluids, using microscope slides coated with a thin layer of agar containing plasma and fibrinogen, was developed. No prior purification of the enzyme was needed, and only small quantities, 7 microliter, were required for each test. This method is particularly suitable for objectively comparing the relative amounts of coagulase produced by different cultures of Staphylococcus aureus.
