Coagulase [r]:
Enzymes that cause coagulation in plasma by forming a complex with human prothrombin, and produced by certain bacteria including Staphylococcus species and Yersinia pestis. Staphylococci produce two types of coagulase: Staphylocoagulase, a free coagulase that produces true clotting of plasma, and Staphylococcal clumping factor, a bound coagulase in the cell wall that induces clumping of cells in the presence of fibrinogen.
