Summary
This document presents a table of biochemical properties of various Enterobacteriaceae. It lists different species and their corresponding results for various tests such as Indole, Methyl Red, Voges-Proskauer, Citrate, and Urease. This information is useful in microbiological lab settings for the identification of these bacteria, as different species will give different results profiles to these tests.
