Moraxella catarrhalis can easily be differentiated from other oxidase-positive, gram-negative cocci with tributyrine, 4-methylumbelliferyl butyrate, or indoxyl acetate. All M. catarrhalis give positive reactions, and all Neisseria spp. give negative reactions. The 4-methylumbelliferyl butyrate tube test and indoxyl acetate strip test provide same-day identification of M. catarrhalis isolates.
卡他莫拉菌很容易通过三丁酸甘油酯、4-甲基伞形酮丁酸酯或乙酸吲哚酚与其他氧化酶阳性的革兰氏阴性球菌区分开来。所有卡他莫拉菌均呈阳性反应,而所有奈瑟菌属均呈阴性反应。4-甲基伞形酮丁酸酯试管试验和乙酸吲哚酚试纸条试验可对卡他莫拉菌分离株进行当日鉴定。
