  • Patent number: 7892783
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a reaction medium for cholerae-group Vibrio (cholerae/vulnificus and mimicus) and Vibrio parahaemolyticus bacteria, comprising a substrate for detecting a ?-galactosidase enzymatic activity, a sugar, a coloured indicator. The invention also relates to the use of this medium for isolating and identifying cholerae-group Vibrio (cholerae/vulnificus and mimicus) and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Finally, the invention relates to a method for identifying Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio parahaemolyticus bacteria, according to which beta-galactosidase activity is detected for identifying Vibrio cholerae and the acidification of a sugar is detected for revealing Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

  • Patent number: 7807439
    Abstract: The invention concerns a medium for specific detection of Staphylococcus aureus and/or discrimination between positive-coagulase Staphylococcus and negative-coagulase enabling Staphylococcus to isolate bacteria of the genus staphylococcus and identify the Staphylococcus aureus species, which use at least an enzymatic substrate, preferably a chromogenic or fluorescent agent, and still more preferably consisting of an indoxyl or naphthol base. The invention also concerns a method for identifying, and optionally counting, Staphylococcus aureus using such a medium. It consists of a Staphylococcus aureus culture medium and at least an enzymatic substrate enabling testing of an ?-glucosidase activity. The invention is particularly applicable in the field of diagnosis.
