Description
- The test can be used to determine ornithine decarboxylase activity in the family Enterobacteriaceae and can be used to differentiate Staphylococcus lugdunensis from other species of Staphylococcus
- Especially useful to differentiate Proteus mirabilis from other Proteus spp., which are ornithine decarboxylase negative
- Decarboxylase basal media consists of peptones and yeast extract which supply nitrogenous and other nutrients necessary for bacterial growth.
- Bromcresol purple is a pH indicator
- The amino acid ornithine is added to detect the production of the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase
