title: The use of meso-erythritol sensitivity discs in the typing of Brucella strains.
abstract: Sensitivity discs containing 1 and 2 mg meso-erythritol were found to give comparable results to the use of meso-erythritol incorporated into growth medium at 1 and 2 mg/ml. The discs proved easy and efficient when used in a disc ring together with benzyl penicillin and streptomycin sulphate discs.
