[Use of a new diagnostic test system in studying the biochemical properties of hemophils].

Biochemical plates for the differentiation between Enterobacteriaceae have been employed for studies of the biochemical activities of hemophilic microorganisms. Thirty-seven hemophilic strains have been examined with the use of this test system. A wide set of diagnostic tests used with these plates permits not only biochemical identification of the hemophils but their biotyping as well.
