Interfering Effect of Incubation in Carbon Dioxide on the Identification of Pneumococci by Optochin Discs

A Ruth Ragsdale ^1,², Jay P Sanford ^1,²

PMCID: PMC376433 PMID: 4399852

Abstract

Incubation of pneumococci in a CO₂ environment decreases the zone sizes produced by optochin discs, with the result that pneumococcal-like organisms require further study.
