Abstract
The biochemical and nutritional properties of 11 strains of A. faecalis and of 18 strains of B. bronchiseptica were determined. B. bronchiseptica requires niacin for growth, splits urea rapidly and does not grow on a simple glucose-inorganic salts medium. Strains of A. faecalis differ from brucellae in the first 2 characteristics and most strains can grow on a simple glucose-inorganic salts medium. B. bronchiseptica To obtain consistent results, glucose cannot be autoclaved in the medium but must be sterilized separately and then added to the sterile medium.
