Popis: The authors suggest a method for the detection of S. aureus and S. epidermidis strains fibronectin-binding ability (FNBA), based on a new principle--the passive coagglutination test. Using this test, FNBA was detected at 16 of the 20 tested S. aureus strains and in 6 of the 11 S. epidermidis strains. This method yields more demonstrable results than the flake-formation test on the glass in the presence of fibronectin. A nonagglutinating fibronectin form may be used in the test.
