Rapid Test Kit for Phenylalanine Deamination is used for differentiation of Proteus, Providencia from Enteric Bacilli.
This test allows to differentiate members of the Proteeae from other members of the Enterobacteriaceae by the ability of organisms in the genera within the Proteeae to deaminate phenylalanine to phenyl pyruvic acid by enzymatic activity. Proteus, Providencia and Morganella species possess this capability. This reaction is very useful in the taxonomy of Enterobacteriaceae.
Reagent:
10 vials containing 1 mL medium each for phenylalanine deamination activity.
