title: A simple procedure for the preliminary identification of aerobic gram negative intestinal bacteria with special reference to the Enterobacteriaceae.
abstract: A useful procedure is described for rapid identification of some Gram negative bacteria during quantitative studies of the intestinal flora from various species. The methods used are based on primary isolation and differentiation of the bacteria by the use of MacConkey agar and the subsequent differentiation according to definite procedure using the replica plating technique.
