title: Detection of aminopeptidases in Enterobacteriaceae by three simple chromogenic tests.
abstract: The action of 907 strains belonging to the various genera and species of the family Enterobacteriaceae were assayed on three chromogenic substrates used for the detection of aminopeptidases. The observed patterns of reactions may be useful for the biochemical identification of some serovars and biovars, particularly in the genus Shigella.
