Use of a single-tube medium, o-nitrophenyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside-phenylalanine-motility sulfate, for screening of pathogenic members of the family Enterobacteriaceae.
A single-tube, multiple-test medium for the screening of Enterobacteriaceae in enteric and other clinical specimens is described. This medium allows the detection of motility, beta-galactosidase and phenylalanine deaminase activities, and H(2)S and indole production.
