    Abstract

    The deoxyribonuclease (DNase) test is useful in classifying Serratia bacilli and in differentiating it from the Hafnia group, E. cloacae, and E. liquefaciens. It is recommended as a differential test in enteric bacteriology because of its specificity, the convenience of its use, and the rapidity with which it can be performed.
