N Arlene Klapes 1,*, Donald Vesley 1
PMCID: PMC203580  PMID: 3767363

Abstract

A rapid, in situ thermonuclease test that identifies colonies of Staphylococcus aureus among staphylococci isolated from swimming pool water by membrane filtration recovery on various selective and differential media is described.
