RESUMO
Rapid biochemical tests for nitrate, indole, gelatin, starch, esculin, and o-nitrophenyl-β-D-galactopyranoside were performed on 112 strains of anaerobic bacteria. All tests were incubated under aerobic conditions, and results were recorded within 4 h. The tests for nitrate, indole, and starch showed a 95% or greater correlation when compared to the standard biochemical tests. Tests for esculin and gelatin showed an agreement of 86 and 77%, respectively. PathoTec test strips for nitrate, indole, esculin, o-nitrophenyl-β-D-galactopyranoside, Voges-Proskauer, and urease were also tested and showed encouraging results.
