Abstract:
1. A test mixture for detecting the presence or absence of pathogenic staphylococci (“p. staphylococci ”) directly in a first generation specimen test sample, the test mixture comprising: a) an effective amount of amino acids to facilitate the production of protein; b) an effective amount of nitrogen sources to facilitate the production of protein and nucleic acid; c) an effective amount of salts to facilitate the transport of nutrient into a cell; d) an effective amount of vitamins to facilitate biochemical reaction; e) an effective amount of calcium to facilitate the transport of nutrient into a cell; and f) an effective amount of coagulase substrates, which coagulase substrates include fibrinogen, which will create a clot within a liquid medium containing the test mixture and the first generational specimen test sample at temperatures in the range of about 20° C. to about 42° C. in the presence of p.
