Abstract
A method for the clinical isolation and recognition of Corynebacterium vaginale (Haemophilus vaginalis) is presented. Wet mount and stained characteristics of genital tract discharges, cellular and colonial morphology of the bacilli, inhibition by H(2)O(2), lack of a catalase, and fermentation of particular carbohydrates are the determinant factors. The method enables differentiation of the species from unclassified diphtheroids common to the genitourinary tract.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
