LYSINE DECARBOXYLASE BROTH

Decarboxylase media were first described by Moeller for detecting lysine and ornithine decarboxylase and arginine dihydrolase. Falkow developed a lysine decarboxylase medium for the identification and differentiation of Salmonella and Shigella. Lysine Decarboxylase Broth is especially suited to study the decarboxylase reactions for members of Enterobacteriaceae other than Klebsiella and Enterobacter. Lysine Decarboxylase Broth is also recommended by APHA and other standard methods.
