ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to growing and testing microorganisms in which an anti-capsule compound is used in order to prevent false positive results. The present invention is suited for the characterization of commonly encountered microorganisms which commonly produce capsules (e.g., Kkebsiella, Enterobacter, Escherichia, Burkholderia, Pseudomonas, Sphingobacterium, Chryseobacterium, Bacillus, Micrococcus, Staphylococcus, Haemophilus, Neisseria, Gordona, Kytococcus, Jonesia, Rhodococcus, Corynebacterium, Streptococcus, Cellulomonas, Brevibacterium, Arcanobacterium, Tsukamurella, Acinetobacter, Cryptococcus, etc.), as well as organisms of medical, veterinary, commercial, and/or industrial importance from various and diverse environments.
