Comparison of amino acid decarboxylase and dihydrolase results by Moeller, rapid, and replicator plate methods.
A slightly modified Moeller medium for amino acid decarboxylase and dihydrolase testing by the replicator method correlated 96 to 99% with the reference Moeller broth method. False positive results were not encountered in this study.
