Comparative study of media for determination of lysine decarboxylase activity.
Three lysine decarboxylase media were studied with 2,764 Enterobacteriaceae. This comparison was made with Möller, Falkow, and Taylor decarboxylase broths. Taylor broth proved to be the most suitable for routine diagnostic work.
