摘要 |
The invention relates to a method for detecting and/or identifying E. coli in a urine sample, that comprises: a) inoculating the urine sample liable to contain E. coli on a detection medium that comprises a first substrate selected from a beta-glucuronidase substrate, beta-galactosidase substrate and alpha-galactosidase substrate, and a substrate for a lactose acidification enzyme, beta-ribosidase, phosphatase, L-alanine aminopeptidase and L-leucine aminopeptidase, and a second substrate, different from said first substrate and selected from a beta-glucuronidase substrate, beta-galactosidase substrate and alpha-galactosidase substrate, and a substrate for a lactose acidification enzyme, beta-ribosidase, phosphatase, L-alanine aminopeptidase and L-leucine aminopeptidase, or obtaining bacterial colonies; b) identifying the colonies that react with the first substrate and/or the second substrate as being colonies of E. coli.
