Enteric bacilli differential apparatus
Abstract
Abstract THIS ENTERIC DIFFERENTIAL APPARATUS COMBINES FOURTEEN RECOGNIZED BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS IN A FOUR-TUBE CULTURE MEDIA IN SUCH A MANNER THAT EACH INDIVIDUAL SPECIES WITHIN THE FAMILY ENTEROBACTERIACEAE CAUSES THE MEDIA TO ASSUME A DISTINCTIVE APPEARANCE. TWO TUBES COMPRISE THE BASIC R/B DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEM. TWO ADDITIONAL TUBES COMPRISE AN EXPANDER SET. ONE OR BOTH OF THE EXPANDER TUBES MAY BE USED IN COMBINATION WITH THE BASIC SYSTEM. A UNIQUE TUBE FACILITATES INOCULATION, SEPARATES CULTURE MEDIA COMPONENTS TO PREVENT INTERACTION, THUS INCREASING SHELT LIFE, PROVIDES SHARP DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN REACTIONS AND PERMITS THE USE OF SEMI-SOLID GELS TO OBTAIN MORE SENSITIVE DETERMINATION OF MOTILITY. THE TUBE MAY BE USED FOR OTHER CULTURE MEDIA TESTS. ANOTHER ADVANTAGE IS THAT THE TUBE PERMITS TRANSPORTATION OF SEMI-SOLID GEL MEDIA WITHOUT BREAKUP.
