Antonie van Leeuwenhoek Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Staphylococcus aureus can be enumerated in foods by the use ofChapman’s special medium (3), under application of the drop plate technique, recommended byMiles andMisra (6).

Colonies ofS.aureus so obtained can easily be macroscopically differentiated from aerobic sporeformers which grow also on this medium. The colonies can be used immediately for testing their coagulase reaction.
