Abstract
The variation in metabolism of biochemical test substrates by klebsiella isolates has been demonstrated. It is suggested that this variation is likely to result in false-negative reactions in biochemical tests incubated for short periods. The observations made may explain the reported difficulties in obtaining reproducible results in biotyping Klebsiella strains.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
