Caption:
Used in the identification of Enterobacteriaceae bacteria, this image depicts four test tubes that had been used in a Diagnostic Research, Inc., R/B Enteric Differential System test. In this particular view, Enterobacter sp. bacteria were tested alongside Shigella sp. organisms. This system uses a two-tube system, which incorporates into one tube, the tests for hydrogen sulfide (H2S) production, phenylalanine deaminase, lysine decarboxylase, lactose utilization, and gas production from glucose. In the other tube, the tests for indole production, ornithine decarboxylase, and motility are conducted.
