  • Title: Evaluation of a rapid method for identifying Branhamella catarrhalis.
    Author: Richards J.
    Journal: J Clin Pathol; 1988 Apr; 41(4):462-4. PubMed ID: 3130412.
    Abstract:
    The speed and precision of hydrolysis of tributyrin to butyric acid as a test to detect Branhamella catarrhalis were evaluated. The test proved consistently reliable in the identification of strains and correctly differentiated B catarrhalis from Neisseria sp. The combination of Gram stain, oxidase, and catalase tests to tributyrin hydrolysis provides a means of positive same day identification of B catarrhalis.
