<prompt> All of the following statements are true regarding Staphylococci except:A majority of infections caused by coagulase-negative Staphylococci are due to Staphylococcus epidermidisb-lactamase production in Staphylococci is under plasmid controlExpression of methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus increases when it is incubated at 37degC on blood agarMethicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus is independent of b-lactamase production  <response>: Ans. is c i.e., Expression of methicillin resistance in staph aureus increases when it is incubated at 37degC on blood agarRef: Ananthanarayan, 9the, p. 204 and 8the, p. 197; Harrison, 18thep. 1168 and 17the, p. 879, 880b-lactamase production is controlled by plasmid.About Option AApproximately 75 of the infections caused by coagulase negative staphylococci are due to staphylococcus epidermidis.
