Bile Solubility Test: Procedure & Results by obiozoaugusto is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Bile Solubility Test differentiates Streptococcus pneumoniae, which is bile soluble, from other alpha-hemolytic streptococci, which are bile resistant. The test involves using sodium deoxycholate to observe lysis of pneumococcal colonies, with positive results indicated by clearing in the test tube or colony disintegration on agar plates. Limitations include the need for fresh cultures and careful handling to avoid false results.
