Abstract

The biochemical characteristics of 59 strains of Moraxella urethralis from clinical specimens, primarily from urine and the female genital tract, were studied. The characteristics included (i) the inability to acidify carbohydrate substrates, (ii) the ability to produce phenylalanine deaminase, (iii) the ability to reduce nitrite, (iv) the lack of urease activity, and (v) the ability of most strains to alkalinize citrate. A means of differentiating M. urethralis from Moraxella osloensis and Moraxella phenylpyruvica was determined.
