Rapid identification of enterococci. 1983

L H Brown, and E M Peterson, and L M de la Maza

Enterococci were identified in 4 h with bile esculin agar and the Autobac system (General Diagnostics, Warner-Lambert Co., Morris Plains, N.J.), which was used to incubate and monitor salt broth for growth. Of 86 group D streptococci tested, 41 enterococci grew in salt broth and were bile esculin positive within 4 h; none of 45 group D nonenterococcal streptococci exhibited growth in the salt broth, and only 38 of them were bile esculin positive within 4 h.
