Biotyping of Escherichia coli by a simple multiple-inoculation agar plate technique.

F J Buckwold, A R Ronald, G K Harding, T J Marrie, L Fox and C Cates

ABSTRACT

A nine-test system using multiple-inoculation agar plates for biotyping of Escherichia coli is described. Testing of 959 strains resulted in 78 biotypes. On repeated testing, 96% of 182 strains had identical biotypes or differed by only one test. This system provides satisfactory differentiation among strains and is reproducible. Precise standardization of inoculum size is not required. Multiple inoculation allows time and cost-efficient testing of large numbers of strains.
