چکیده

Sodium chloride-esculin hydrolysis test for rapid identification of enterococci.
The ability of enterococci to cause severe disease in humans and their relative resistance to chemotherapeutic agents make it desirable to rapidly differentiate these organisms from other streptococci. We developed and evaluated a test that within 2 h distinguishes enterococci from other alpha-, beta-, or nonhemolytic streptococci in a buffered solution containing 0.2% esculin and 5% sodium chl...

متن کاملPreliminary evaluation of a rapid colorimetric method for the presumptive identification of group A streptococci and enterococci.
A rapid colorimetric method for the presumptive identification of group A streptococci and enterococci based upon pyroglutamyl aminopeptidase activity is described. Of 76 group A streptococcal isolates from primary plates, 83 gave positive reactions, and the remaining 7 were positive on retesting in pure culture. Of the 31 enterococcal isolates tested, all gave positive reactions. Despite occas...
متن کاملRAPID IDENTIFICATION OF GROUP A STREPTOCOCCI BY PYRROLIDONYL-β-APHTHYLAMIDE HYDROLYSIS
In a clinical trial a new pyrrolidonyl-β-naphthylamide (PYR) hydrolysis test was compared with the bacitracin disk susceptibility test for accuracy in the presumptive identification of group A streptococci (GAS). Among 128 isolates of beta-hemolytic streptococci 93 group A isolates were found. The sensitivity of the PYR and bacitracin tests were similar (98.9%), but the bacitracin test had ...
