Within Clinical settings the prevalence of nosocomial Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections is rising which is placing more patients at risk of acquiring an infection and placing more strain on the health care system‚ as patients receiving these infections are occupying hospital beds for extended periods of time (Chaberny et al 2008‚ p 526). With this knowledge‚ the author has identified that there is a lacking of screening measures that‚ if implemented‚ may help to reduce

Gram-positive cocci in clusters (catalase positive). The coagulase test is used to differentiate Staphylococcus aureus from coagulase-negative staphylococci. The test uses rabbit plasma that has been inoculated with a staphylococcal colony. The tube is then incubated at 37 degrees Celsius for 1½ hours. If negative then continue incubation up to 18 hours. * If positive (i.e.‚ the suspect colony is S. aureus)‚ the serum will coagulate‚ resulting in a clot (sometimes the clot is so pronounced that the
