[Accelerated identification method for Corynebacterium diphtheriae].
Abstract
A method for rapid isolation of C. diphtheriae and determination of its biovar is proposed. The method consists in the inoculation of the material under study into 5% blood agar, the determination of cystinase in the modified Pisou medium prepared from agar D with sodium hyposulfite added and the fermentation of starch in dishes with serum starch agar. The proposed method allows one to reduce the time necessary for the identification of C. diphtheriae by 18 hours.
