[A paper indicator system for the identification of Enterobacteria]

A paper indicator system has been developed in the USSR for the accelerated identification of vibrios and proposed for the identification of enterobacteria. This system consists of paper discs or strips impregnated with definite substrates (carbohydrates, polyatomic alcohols, amino acids, etc.) in combination with an indicator and stabilized with the polymer coating. Two kits for the identification of enterobacteria to the level of the genus (kit A for 9 tests) and to the level of the species (kit B for 25 tests) are presented.
