These days, at least in clinical setting, the cultures are mostly for growing the bacteria in preparation for antibiotic testing.
At work, most of the identifications are done via the MALDI, or molecular methods such as the Verigene. I haven't used the latex in forever. Now, I just use the Alere PBP2a to look for MecA.
