• In 1990, further investigation of the disk by Popovic-Uroic et al
• reported the method to be more reliable than nalidixic acid susceptibility for differentiation of Campylobacter spp
• and useful in differentiating Wolinella and Helicobacter 3
• Rapidly identify and differentiate Campylobacter , Wolinella , and Helicobacter based on their ability to hydrolyze indoxyl acetate using Indoxyl Acetate Disk
• Ready to use: Reagent-impregnated disk
• Rapid test: Results are obtained within 20 minutes
• Easy to identify: A positive result showcases development of blue or blue-green color
• Bacterial esterase releases indoxyl from indoxyl acetate which reacts spontaneously to produce indigo in the presence of oxygen
