The activity of diamine oxidase (DAO) in amniotic fluid was measured by three different methods. The first two, one calorimetric and the other fluorometric, depended on the coupled peroxidase assay. The other was a radiochemical procedure. The latter proved to be a reliable method, free from interfe

β¦ Synopsis
Two commercial oxidase detection systems, Pathotec CO strips and Taxo N discs, and a conventional oxidase test using tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine were compared using 161 veterinary isolates of Pasteurella. Whilst the conventional test detected oxidase activity in all of the isolates, the Taxo N discs detected such activity in 156 (97~o) isolates and the Pathotec CO strips in 16 (10~o) isolates,
