Rapid Hippurate Hydrolysis Method for Presumptive Identification of Group B Streptococci

Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, Division of Medical Technology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55455

ABSTRACT

A rapid test to detect the hydrolysis of sodium hippurate by beta-hemolytic streptococci within 2 h was developed. All group B streptococci tested were positive using this method and all other groups were negative.
