RESUMO
Qualitative rapid tests for isocitrate lyase activity were positive for all of 1,695 Yersinia pestis cultures tested but for none of 382 cultures of other gram-negative species. The test is simple, required only commonly available, easily prepared reagents, and provided clear-cut positive or negative results within 20 min.
