[主題詞] Coagulase
[中文釋義] 葡萄球菌凝固因子
[英文釋義] Any bacterial component or product which causes coagulation in plasma containing an anticoagulant such as citrate,heparin or oxalate. Coagulases are produced by certain staphylococci and by Yersinia pestis. Staphylococci produce two types of coagulase: Staphylocoagulase,a free coagulase that produces true clotting of plasma,and Staphylococcal clumping factor,a bound coagulase in the cell wall that induces clumping of cells in the presence of fibrinogen.
