| Abstract: | A suitable test was developed for distinguishing group B streptococci from other beta-hemolytic streptococci during growth in liquid medium. One hundred and sixty of 161 human group B strains tested yielded positive reactions within a 5 h incubation. The dye medium tested is a reliable substitute for more expensive serological procedures. |
