Blister of detection of klebsiella pneumoniae and enterobacter

摘要

A broth medium for the detection of Klebsiella, specifically Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter in urine. The medium employs 3-( alpha -acetonylbenzyl)-4-hydroxycoumarin and 2,4 dinitro-phenyl hydrazone of alpha -Ketoglutoric acid to inhibit growth of Escherichia Coli organisms and to promote growth of Klebsiella. This medium also has a pH of about 8.0 to inhibit other organisms which grow under more neutral conditions.
