چکیده
A total of 232 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae and 19 Pseudomonas species were tested on bile-esculin-agar. Only the Klebsiella-Enterobacter-Serratia group produced blackening of the medium.

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 representi...
متن کاملEsculin hydrolysis by Enterobacteriaceae.
Literature reports disagree concerning esculin hydrolysis in the family Enterobacteriaceae. A total of 2,490 strains of the family were investigated for esculin hydrolysis by two methods, the esculin spot test and the PathoTec incubation strip, which measures constitutive enzyme, and five growth-supporting methods, which determine both constitutive and inducible enzymes. The five growth-support...
متن کاملKlebsiella, Enterobacter, and Serratia: biochemical differentiation and susceptibility to ampicillin and three cephalosporin derivatives.
Three hundred twenty-nine strains of the tribe Klebsielleae were compared by several biochemical tests and by susceptibility to selected antibiotics. Biochemical tests included urease, amino acid decarboxylase, and hydrogen sulfide production; fermentation of lactose and dextrose; motility; and tests in the IMViC (indole, methyl red, Voges-Proskauer, citrate) series. The isolates were: Klebsiel...
متن کاملOccurrence of yeasts, enterococci and other enteric bacteria in subgingival biofilm of HIV-positive patients with chronic gingivitis and necrotizing periodontitis
The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of enteric bacteria and yeasts in biofilm of 80 HIV-positive patients with plaque-associated gingivitis or necrotizing periodontitis. Patients were subjected to extra, intra oral and radiographic examinations. The oral hygiene, bleeding on probing, gingival conditions, and attachment loss were evaluated. Clinical specimens were collected...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Klebsiella-Enterobacter (Aerobacter)-Serratia by biochemical tests and antibiotic susceptibility.
Studies were undertaken for the differentiation of members of the Klebsiella-Enterobacter (Aerobacter)-Serratia division by biochemical tests and antibiotic susceptibility. A total of 67 cultures were tested. Strain identification was readily accomplished with the use of motility tests and arabinose fermentation. In addition, a practical schema, based on sensitivity pattern, proved valuable in ...
