Rapid identification of different species of Streptococcus is accomplished by: culturing the bacteria for several hours under unusual conditions which induces the bacteria to create characteristic enzymes by which the bacteria can be identified, and in a medium containing no more than about 1 g of glucose per liter of culture medium to produce a dense culture; distributing the culture onto several supports containing different substrates which are capable of reacting with enzymes so produced by different species of Streptococcus under the unusual conditions; and incubating the culture to produce a distinctly colored or colorable reaction product.
