How do you differentiate between streptococcus and staphylococcus?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Culture: Culturing the organism from the site of the infection and then performing biochemical tests on the isolated colonies is the gold standard and classic method of differentiating them. Emerging techniques include using the DNA of the organism for identification.
