The Accelerated Determination of the Biochemical Properties of Microbes Using Indicator Paper Discs Containing Carbohydrates,
Abstract
The perfected procedure for the preparation of indicator paper discs containing carbohydrates makes it possible to make a rapid (during 3-5 hours) determination of the enzymatic activity of pathogenic microorganisms. The identification of an isolated culture according to biochemical properties can be accomplished during the usual workday of a bacteriologist. Because the method for the determination of biochemical properties of microbes using indicator discs containing carbohydrates is very simple, convenient and economical, it can also be used under field working conditions of physician-bacteriologists. Furthermore, in the case of centralized production of indicator discs and supply of bacteriological laboratories the utilization of a wider set of carbohydrates is possible.
