Use of the rapid fermentation test in determining carbohydrate reactions of fastidious bacteria in clinical laboratories

D G Hollis et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1980 Oct.

Abstract

The rapid fermentation test was used to determine the carbohydrate reactions of some of the fastidious bacteria encountered in clinical laboratories, such as: Haemophilus species, including Haemophilus vaginalis; Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans; Cardiobacterium hominis; Kingella species; Corynebacterium species; Propionibacterium species; and Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae. Results were usually obtained within 4 h by using inocula from 24- or 48-h blood or chocolate agar media.
