Abstract

A fluorogenic assay for the detection of beta-glucosidase was developed as part of a simplified conventional method to distinguish Staphylococcus warneri and Staphylococcus hominis isolated from bovine body sites. The assay is based on the fact that strains of S. warneri produce beta-glucosidase, while strains of S. hominis do not.
