IDENTIFICATION OF LACTIC ACID BACTERIA AND ENTEROBACTERIA. A TECHNIQUE IN MICROPLATES

In this work a microtechnique for the identification of lactic acid and enteropathogenic bacteria is proposed. Results obtained were compared with those from the conventional method. The final volume and the incubation time for studying sugar fermentation and other biochemical properties were reduced when compared with traditional tests. The correlation between the microplate test and the conventional method is more than 90%. The preparation of microplates with reagents can be stored under refrigeration 30 days before use. The microtechnique could be considered an easy, swift and thrifty method.
