Abstract

A detection medium including a substrate for a metabolic activity specific for a group of Gram-negative bacteria, a beta-glucosidase or cellobiosidase substrate, and a beta-glucosidase or cellobiosidase inducer. The inducer is a carbohydrate constituted of a carbohydrate linked in the β-position to glucose, or a carbohydrate with a βglucoside subunit, preferably selected from cellobiose, cellulose, starch, cellotriose, and trehalose.
