The CAMP Test
The collected sample is streaked on a blood agar plate (vertical streaks) next to staphylococcus aureus culture (horizontal streak). Strep B has weak hemolytic activity, which is enhanced substantially (arrow-like area) when streaked next to s. aureus. The reason for that is the interaction between the CAMP factor from strep B and the s. aureus hemolysin.
