DNAse Positive Organisms
- Some strains of Staphylococcus intermedius are DNase-positive.
- Some strains of MRSA are DNase-negative.
- The subspecies of Staphylococci schleiferi are DNase positive and produce heat stable nucleases.
- Some coagulase-negative staphylococci such as Staphylococcus epidermis give weak reactions.
- This test should always be used in conjunction with another test for confirmation of identification of Staphylococcal isolates.
- Also Serratia marcesens, Moraxella spp.
