Rapid identification of enterococci [PDF]
A 4-h method was devised to differentiate the non-beta-hemolytic streptococci into three categories: enterococci, group D nonenterococci, and viridans streptococci. All of the Streptococcus faecalis, 90% of the Streptococcus faecium (enterococci), and 96% of the Streptococcus bovis biotype I (group D nonenterococci) cultures were correctly identified ...
