The suggested test for the identification of enterococci is based on their ability, unlike other streptococci, to grow in Levine's or Endo's media. A total of 128 enterococcal and 251 other streptococcal cultures were examined. The studies have demonstrated reliability of the suggested test, which permits, as a rule, cutting down the time for identification by 1 day and simplifying the investigation.
