Evaluation of Selective Media for Enumeration of Group D Streptococci in Bovine Feces

R E Switzer 1,1, James B Evans 1
PMCID: PMC186891  PMID: 4451370

Abstract

Eight commercially available selective media were evaluated by the membrane filter technique. Enterococcosel broth (BBL) consistently gave the best recovery of group D streptococci, particularly of Streptococcus bovis.
