The Enterotube test system intended for the accelerated identification of enterobacteria was used to study 319 strains isolated from patients with suppurative complications after surgical operations and traumatic lesions. The test system was found to allow a reliable identification of Enterobacteriaceae having characteristic biochemical properties. It was also found that the kit intended for 10 tests could prove insufficient for the identification of atypical bacteria. The Enterotube test system made it possible to differentiate 95% of enterobacterial strains; in the identification of bacteria by their genus and species and results obtained with the use of the Enterotube test system and common biochemical methods were found to be identical (in 96.4% of tests).

To simplify the testing of drinking water in crisis-afflicted areas (as in Kosovo in 2007), rapid test methods were compared with the standard test. For Escherichia coli and coliform pathogens, rapid tests were made available: Colilert(®)-18, P/A test with 4-methylumbelliferyl-β-D-glucoronid, and m-Endo Broth. Biochemical differentiation was carried out by Enterotube™ II.

A study was carried out with 101 strains, 79 of Escherichia coli and 22 of other genera isolated from clinical samples at several hospitals in Havana form October 1989 to January 1990. In all the strains, beta-glycuronidase enzyme was detected in conditions established by our laboratory and was compared with the results reached by the ROCHE enterotube method. Of the 79 Escherichia coli strains, 74 were positive to the beta-glycuronidase detection test.

We evaluated three fluorogenic methods (MUG; Remel, Lenexa, KS) for the rapid (less than 1 hr) identification of E. coli by detecting beta-glucuronidase activity. The methods included: direct disk inoculation test, tube test, and liquid spot reagent test.
