[Effectiveness of ClNa-esculin broth for the rapid identification of the Enterococcus genus].
The efficacy of the ClNa-esculine broth for the rapid identification (2 hours) of the species of the genus Enterococcus was evaluated and compared with the conventional biochemical methods requiring an incubation of 18-24 hours. Out of the 274 evaluated strains, 171 were positive for this investigation; 160 of them corresponded to Enterococcus spp (100%). The sensitivity of the test was 100%, the specificity 99.1%, the positive predictive value 99.3% and the negative predictive value 100%.
