title: Development and evaluation of a miniaturised method as an aid to the identification of clinically important anaerobic bacteria.
abstract: A miniaturised method for the identification of anaerobic bacteria is described which employs microtitre fermentation tests, a spot indole test and a nitrate reduction disc test. The results obtained are directly comparable with those produced by a standard conventional method in use at present.
