Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae, 169 strains, and 68 strains of Cloaca cloacae were used in an examination of Hagna and Damon''s hippurate test and various modifications of it. The addition of a pH indicator (phenol red) to the medium permitted detection of hydrolysis by a change of color. Clear-cut distinction between K. pneumoniae and C. cloacae was not obtained with any method, but the indicator medium gave the best results and was simplest.Keywords
