Abstract :
The aim of this work was to identify the species specific by using multiplex PCR for the identification of two species of coagulase positive staphylococci (CPS): Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus intermedius. Twenty eight staphylococcus isolates, previously characterized as CPS through the coagulase, and catalase production tests and Gram staining, were identified at genus level. At the same time, the DNA of these isolates was extracted and amplified by multiplex PCR, using primers for the nuc gene, specific for S. aureus, and S. intermedius. It can be concluded that nuc gene can be used for differentiation between coagulase positive staphylococci.
