2. Enterotube II Identification of enteric (Gram-negative intestinal) bacilli.
Rapid multi-chambered test
The twelve small compartments substitute for twelve test tubes containing appropriate media for these tests: glucose, lysine, ornithine, H2S/indole, adonitol, lactose, arabinose, sorbitol, Voges-Proskauer, Dulcitol/PA, urea and citrate.
The wire inserted in the Enterotube is used to obtain growth from an isolated colony of the test organism. The wire is pushed down through the twelve compartments, inoculates each test as it is pulled through the opposite end.
