CAMP-disk test for presumptive identification of group B streptococci.
The modification of the CAMP test for goup B streptococci involved substituting a paper disk impregnated with partially purified beta-hemolysin for the staphylococcal culture that was the source of beta-hemolysin in the original test. The disk is placed onto a sheep blood agar plate beside the streak of Streptococcus being tested. The plate is then incubated aerobically at 35 degrees C. A posit...
متن کاملRapid hippurate hydrolysis method for presumptive identification of group B streptococci.
A rapid test to detect the hydrolysis of sodium hippurate by beta-hemolytic streptococci within 2 h was developed. All group B streptococci tested were positive using this method and all other groups were negative.
متن کاملPresumptive identification & antibiotic susceptibility of group B Streptococci.
Three presumptive identification tests were conducted on 60 strains of beta haemolytic group B streptococci (GBS) & evaluated for their sensitivity as compared to the standard serological grouping. The GBS were further subjected to serotyping and antibiotic sensitivity testing. Hippurate was hydrolysed by 96.6%, the CAMP test was positive in 83.3% & pigment was produced by 95%. The commonest se...
متن کاملLiquid Granada medium for detection of group B streptococci.
Heelan et al. (5) recently presented data on the sensitivity of a liquid Granada medium (9) (GBS broth) for detection of Streptococcus agalactiae. We have tested this medium, and it contains, as Granada medium, starch, proteose peptone 3, methotrexate, a Good’s buffer, serum, glucose, and selective agents. So, we agree with the authors that detection of orangered colonies in GBS broth is 100% s...
متن کاملEvaluation of a new presumptive medium for group D streptococci.
A new medium designated as D streptococcus-enterococcus broth was formulated and evaluated for the enrichment and isolation of strains of serological group D streptococci. This medium was made by modifying Todd-Hewitt broth. Most-probable-number multiple-tube and membrane filter techniques were employed to estimate the numbers of enterococci in known cultures, wastewater, and other samples. Pre...
