Constricted Tube System for Presumptive Identification and Differentiation of Group D Streptococci

Milton M Takeguchi 1, Lynn B Simpson 1
PMCID: PMC273077  PMID: 379044

Abstract

A single, constricted tube containing two differential media to identify and differentiate group D streptococci was developed. Test results with a limited number of group D streptococcal isolates were in complete agreement with results of conventional procedures.
