Beta-glucuronidase activity has been investigated in 1,221 Enterobacteriaceae strains. The test, using p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucuronide (pNPGlcU) agar culture, can be included easily in the routine Enterobacteriaceae biochemical assays. The test is discriminating for Enterobacteriaceae genera and species and useful for identification of
