ABSTRACT
To identify Escherichia coli through the production of â-D-glucuronidase (GUD), 622 suspect cultures were isolated from chicken carcasses and plated in PetrifilmTM EC. Of these cultures, only 44 (7.1 percent) failed to produce GUD. This result indicates the usefulness of GUD production for estimating E. coli populations in chicken.
