[A paper indicator system for the identification of Enterobacteria].

A paper indicator system has been developed in the USSR for the accelerated identification of vibrios and proposed for the identification of enterobacteria. This system consists of paper discs or strips impregnated with definite substrates (carbohydrates, polyatomic alcohols, amino acids, etc.) in combination with an indicator and stabilized with the polymer coating.

[Complex studies in the surveillance of the environmental Vibrio flora in the city of Gorki and Gorki Province].

The analysis of the results of the comprehensive studies (phenotypic and genotypic properties, the precipitation test with the use of spontaneously agglutinating cultures, the determination of the antigenic structure by immunochemical analysis, etc.) carried out during the sanitary microbiological control of the environmental vibrioflora for the last 5 years are presented. Only the combined use of the above-mentioned methods has allowed to ascertain the taxonomic position of atypical cultures.
