Abstract
Methods and procedures are described for the identification of aerobic pseudomonads isolated from clinical specimens. Fluorescence is used as a means of primary differentiation. Final identification is based on the observation of characteristics such as flagellation, storage of intracellular fat, growth at 4 C and at 41 C, denitrification, gelatin hydrolysis, arginine dihydrolase activity, and oxidase activity. The value of this schema to the diagnostic laboratory is discussed.
