Abstract

A total of 524 staphylococcal isolates from bovine milk were identified, using the API Staph-Ident system and conventional biochemical methods. The API Staph-Ident system correctly identified 192 of 201 (95.5%) Staphylococcus aureus isolates, but was correct on only 23 of 323 (7.1%) non-S aureus isolates.
