CAMP test is shown at bottom left. The CAMP test (Christie–Atkins–Munch-Petersen) is a test to identify group B β-hemolytic streptococci (Streptococcus agalactiae) [1] [2] based on their formation of a substance, CAMP factor, [3] that enlarges the area of hemolysis formed by the β-hemolysin elaborated from Staphylococcus aureus.
β-haemolytic colonies of Streptococcus agalactiae, blood agar 18h at 36 °C Positive CAMP test indicated by the formation of an arrowhead where S. agalactiae meets Staphylococcus aureus (white middle streak) Red colonies of S. agalactiae in granada agar, vagino-rectal culture 18h incubation 36 °C anaerobiosis

[5] In general, GBS is a harmless commensal bacterium being part of the human microbiota colonizing the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract of up to 30% of healthy human adults (asymptomatic carriers).

[1] [8] Differentiation between these two subspecies can be done via biochemical tests including a CAMP test, and haemolytic properties. A. equuli subsp. equuli is non-haemolytic and CAMP negative, while A. equuli subsp. haemolyticus is haemolytic and CAMP positive. [8]
Five camp counselors have tested positive for coronavirus at a summer camp on Long Island.
This phenomenon is the mechanism behind the CAMP test, [2] a test that was historically used for the identification of Streptococcus agalactiae and Listeria monocytogenes. [3] A modified version of this test called the reverse CAMP test, utilizing S. agalactiae instead of S. aureus, can also be used to identify Clostridium perfringens.
