Abstract
Device for simultaneous recognition of group D streptococci and the differentiation of members of that group into enterococci and nonenterococci bacteria. Device comprises an elongated substantially cylindrical transparent tube having upper and lower chambers joined by a conduit having a smallest diameter smaller than either chamber. The upper chamber contains a semi-solid bile-esculin medium capable of indicating the presence of group D streptococci. The lower chamber contains a semi-solid enterococci distinguishing medium having a NaCl content of at least about 6.5%. Media in the two chambers are separated by a gas (e.g., air) within the conduit.
