SUMMARY: Tests carried out on coagulase positive staphylococci isolated from bulk milk supplies showed a nearly perfect relationship between α‐lysin production and pigment production at 42°. Ninety‐nine per cent of the organisms were classed as pathogenic, while 75% were probably responsible for sub‐clinical conditions in the udder.
