    Author: Stoakes L, Schieven B, Hussain Z, Lannigan R.
    Journal: Zentralbl Bakteriol Mikrobiol Hyg A; 1987 Apr; 264(1-2):131-6. PubMed ID: 3115001.
    Abstract:
    A carbohydrate degradation medium was developed for the detection of acid production by Neisseria species and Branhamella catarrhalis. A total of 223 clinical isolates were identified by Supplemented Peptone Agar and the results were compared with those of Cystine Trypticase Agar. Supplemented Peptone Agar and Cystine Trypticase Agar correctly identified 99.1% and 93.7% of the total strains respectively within 24 h. With Cystine Trypticase Agar method another 4% of the isolates could be identified but required an additional 24 h of incubation.
