Abstract
Most of the research pertaining to evaluation and use of various commercial Enterobacteriaceae test kits has been conducted by clinical microbiologists. This paper reviews more than 50 reports of studies in which a number of these diagnostic kits were compared to conventional biochemical tests for characterization and identification of Enterobacteriaceae. It is hoped that this information will be of value to food and environmental microbiologists who are concerned with identification of Salmonella, Escherichia coli, “coliforms,” and other members of this family.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
