API system: a multitube micromethod for identification of Enterobacteriaceae.
The API system for identification of Enterobacteriaceae was evaluated with 366 cultures. Overall accuracy of identification was 96.4%; of the 13 cultures misidentified, 7 were atypical strains.
متن کاملIdentification of Enterobacteriaceae by the API 20E system.
Since the introduction of the API 20E kit a number of identification schemes have been developed by the manufacturer for use with the kit. We evaluated the success of these various schemes in identifying 206 strains belonging to 34 taxa of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Many of the strains were atypical and only 94% could be identified by our own system of 50 conventional tests and a computer p...
متن کاملEvaluation of accuracy of multitest micromethod system for identification of Enterobacteriaceae.
The Analytab system of 20 biochemical tests for identification of Enterobacteriaceae was evaluated in parallel with conventional tests on 128 Enterobacteriaceae, 5 Aeromonas, and 1 Yersinia enterocolitica. The results of tests for H(2)S and indole production, citrate utilization, lysine and ornithine decarboxylase, arginine dihydrolase, nitrate reduction, beta-galactosidase, and fermentation of...
متن کاملEvaluation of a micromethod gallery (API Staph) for the identification of staphylococci and micrococci.
A collection of 300 well-characterised strains of staphylococci and micrococci was examined by a commercially available gallery micromethod (API Staph). The results were compared with biotyping by conventional methods. The gallery micromethod broadly agreed with the biotyping scheme used but gave an identification from the index supplied in less than 30% of the trials. Reproducibility was bette...
متن کاملComparison of identification of Enterobacteriaceae by API 20E and Sensititre Autoidentification System.
Of 251 isolates of the Enterobacteriaceae identified to species level by API 20E, 208 (83%) were similarily identified by the Sensititre Autoidentification System. Both systems shared a common problem in that discrimination between species of the genera Klebsiella, Enterobacter, and Serratia was poor. The eight digit biocode generated by the Sensititre system for individual isolates is not repr...
