Abstract
Indoxyl-beta-D-glucuronide (indoxyl) was evaluated as a specific chrom ogen for detection of Escherichia coli by the membrane filter method. In all, 413 colonies were tested from the indoxyl-supplemented media, yielding 93.3% confirmation, as E. coli. Compared with the indoxyl med ium, other media gave either much lower recovery with high verificatio n or equal recovery with poor verification.
