A four-tube method with diagnostic nutrient media is proposed for differentiating between pathogenic and apathogenic Yersinia. Yersinia cultures are detected by inoculating typical or suspected colonies from solid media to media with lactose, glucose, urea, and indicators. Subsequent cu1turing in three other media with sucrose and sorbitol, with esculin, rhamnose, and salicin, and with pyrasinanilde) and the use of appropriate indicators help detect potentially pathogenous pseudotuberculous and enteric Yersinia of lB. 2, 3, and 5 biovars from apathogenic species and variants. The method is simple, rapid, economic, reliable, and, is recommended for clinical laboratory diagnosis.
