ABSTRACT

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 some monophasic serotypes of Salmonella.
