Staphyloccocal pathogenicity is indicated by-
1.Coagulase positivity
2.Hemolysis
3.Lipoteichoic acid
4.Endotoxin
Explanation:
Virulence factors of staphylococcus aureus
There are numerous virulence factors responsible for pathogenicity of staph aureus, but the most consistent association of virulence is production of coagulase and to a lesser extent, fermentation of mannitol.
Coagulase causes activation of prothrombin and leads to fibrin formation around the bacteria, protecting the bacteria from phagocytosis.
