Abstract: Methods and compositions for detection of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), trichomoniasis and bacterial vaginosis (BV) are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the presence or absence of VVC-associated Candida, Trichomonas valginalis, and a plurality of BV-related bacteria in a sample is determined using multiplex nucleic acid-based testing methods.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for identifying at least two groups of microorganisms expressing the same enzymatic activity, comprising the following steps: a) incubating said groups of microorganisms in a reaction medium comprising a first enzyme substrate and a second enzyme substrate, said first and second enzyme substrates being metabolized by the same enzymatic activity; b) identifying said groups of microorganisms.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting and/or identifying Escherichia coli (E. coli) in a biological sample, that comprises inoculating the biological sample liable to contain E. coli on a detection medium that comprises tryptophan and a substrate for an enzyme A, expressed by the majority of E. coli, in order to obtain bacterial colonies; detecting the colonies expressing the activity of the enzyme A and identifying them as being E. coli; and detecting the colonies that do not express the activity of the enzyme A, carrying out an indole test, and identifying the colonies having a positive indole test as being E. coli.

Abstract: A method for distinguishing among a first group of microorganisms, belonging to a first taxon of yeasts that is resistant to an antifungal; a second group of microorganisms, belonging to a second taxon of yeasts that is different than the first taxon of yeasts, and that exhibits the mechanism of resistance to the antifungal exhibited by the first group; and a third group that is not resistant to the antifungal.

Abstract: A detection medium including a substrate for a metabolic activity specific for a group of Gram-negative bacteria, a beta-glucosidase or cellobiosidase substrate, and a beta-glucosidase or cellobiosidase inducer. The inducer is a carbohydrate constituted of a carbohydrate linked in the ?-position to glucose, or a carbohydrate with a ?glucoside subunit, preferably selected from cellobiose, cellulose, starch, cellotriose, and trehalose.
