Identification of non-fermentative gram-negative bacteria

摘要

A method for identification of non-fermentative Gram-negative bacteria (NFB) consisting of correlating results from a plurality of oxidative alkalinization (OAL) assays in media samples consisting essentially of a minimal-protein medium, an indicator and a substrate and a plurality of oxidative acidification (OAC) assays in media consisting essentially of a minimal-protein medium, an indicator and a substrate. A medium for determining oxidative attack (OA) consists essentially of a minimal- protein medium, an indicator and a substrate.
