ABSTRACT:
Rapid differentiation between viable gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria is accomplished with polyether antibiotics which are used in combination with a compound which is normally reducible by the bacteria. The antibiotics selectively and substantially inhibit the reduction of the reducible compound by gram-positive bacteria but do not substantially affect the reducing capacity of the gram-negative bacteria.
