| use of bile-esculin agar for rapid differentiation of enterobacteriaceae. | bile-esculin agar has been used for several years for the presumptive identification of group d streptococci. all members of the enterobacteriaceae family will also grow on this medium, but only certain ones can hydrolyze esculin to 6,7-dihydroxycoumarin, which reacts with iron to produce a characteristic blackening of the medium. one thousand and six cultures from clinical specimens representing 20 genera were isolated and identified. heavy inocula from fresh pure culture isolates on heart infu ... | 1975 | 1176613 |
| motility-indole-lysine medium for presumptive identification of enteric pathogens of enterobacteriaceae. | detection of lysine decarboxylase activity is a useful supplement to reactions on triple sugar-iron (tsi) and urea agars in the initial examination of suspected pathogenic isolates from fecal cultures. owing to the added value of motility and indole production in the differentiation of enteric pathogens, we prepared and evaluated a motility-indole-lysine (mil) medium. the following 890 organisms were tested: 264 shigella, 2 edwardsiella, 182 salmonella enteritidis, 235 s. typhi, 3 arizona, 32 ye ... | 1975 | 1176632 |
| motility-indole-lysine-sulfide medium. | a medium designed for the detection of motility, indole, lysine decarboxylase and deaminase reactions, and h2s production was devised and evaluated. results, using 157 strains of enteric pathogens, were in agreement with reference methods. when 300 isolates from fecal cultures were screened using this medium, shigella was easily differentiated from escherichia and more of the proteus species, especially p. morganii, could be eliminated from further study. | 1975 | 1176633 |
| effect of temperature on transport and plating media for enteric pathogens. | the effect of wide variations in incubation temperatures and long periods of incubation on transport and enrichment broths and plating media was determined by exhaustive analysis of 132 diarrheal stools for salmonellae and shigellae. homogenized stools were streaked onto eosin methylene blue (emb), salmonella-shigella (ss), and xylose lysine deoxycholate (xld) agar plates, and into saline, cary-blair (cb) transport medium, and selenite f and gram-negative (gn) enrichment broths. incubation tempe ... | 1975 | 1184731 |
| discriminant analysis of antibiotic susceptibility as a means of bacterial identification. | this study shows that antibiotic susceptibility data can be used effectively in the presumptive identification of bacteria. using 12 antibiotics and determining the zone sizes for each, 82% of the isolates considered were correctly identified without any other information. if the inability to distinguish between escherichia coli and shigella is disregarded, the percentage of correct identification is 92%. the method involves determining a set of discriminant functions and defining each taxon by ... | 1975 | 1194406 |
