A chemically defined medium for slime production by coagulase-negative staphylococci Hussain, M. and Hastings, J. G. M. and White, P. J.,, 34, 143-147 (1991), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/00222615-34-3-143, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 0022-2615, abstract= Summary In a chemically defined medium in which the principal constituents were glucose, 18 amino acids, two purines and six vitamins, eight strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci grew as rapidly and heavily as in tryptic soy broth.
