All of the following statements are true regarding Staphylococci except:
Ans. is 'c' i.e., Expression of methicillin resistance in staph aureus increases when it is incubated at 37degC on blood agar(Ref: Ananthanarayan, 9th/e, p. 204 and 8th/e, p. 197; Harrison, 18th/e/p. 1168 and 17th/e, p. 879, 880)b-lactamase production is controlled by plasmid.About Option 'A'"Approximately 75% of the infections caused by coagulase negative staphylococci are due to staphylococcus epidermidis."
A majority of infections caused by coagulase-negative Staphylococci are due to Staphylococcus epidermidis
b-lactamase production in Staphylococci is under plasmid control
Expression of methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus increases when it is incubated at 37degC on blood agar
Methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus is independent of b-lactamase production
