Evaluation of the new VITEK 2 card for identification of clinically relevant gram-negative rods.
The VITEK 2 card for gram-negative bacteria (bioMérieux,Marcy-l'Etoile, France) has been redesigned to improve the identification of fermenting and nonfermenting bacilli. Forty-seven biochemical tests, including 19 enzymatic tests, are present in the new card and interpreted in a kinetic mode. Final identification results are available within 10 h. The database allows the identification of 159 ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the VITEK 2 system for rapid identification of medically relevant gram-negative rods.
The new VITEK 2 system (bioMérieux) was evaluated at two independent sites with the identification card for gram-negative bacilli (ID-GNB card). Of the 845 strains tested, which represented 70 different taxa belonging to either the family Enterobacteriaceae or the nonenteric bacilli, 716 (84.7%) were correctly identified at the species level. Thirty-two (3.8%) additional strains were identified...
متن کاملNew Vitek 2 colorimetric GN Card for identification of gram-negative nonfermentative bacilli.
The recent publication of Zbinden et al. (4) regarding the Vitek 2 colorimetric GN card for the identification of gramnegative nonfermentative bacilli contains data inconsistencies which the authors should have addressed before making recommendations for the use of this product. The authors stated that the 90 isolates tested were “well identified” but that 20/90 (22.2%) were not identified to t...
متن کاملCritical evaluation of the AutoMicrobic system gram-negative identification card for identification of glucose-nonfermenting gram-negative rods.
During a 6-month study we critically evaluated the accuracy of the AutoMicrobic system Gram-Negative Identification Card (Vitek Systems, Inc., Hazelwood, Mo.) in identifying glucose-nonfermenting gram-negative bacilli by testing 419 selected isolates in parallel with a conventional reference method. Of 356 isolates included in the AutoMicrobic system profile, a total of 307 (86.2%) were correct...
متن کاملMulticenter evaluation of the new Vitek 2 Neisseria-Haemophilus identification card.
The new Neisseria-Haemophilus identification (NH) card for Vitek 2 was compared with 16S rRNA gene sequencing (16S) as the reference method for accurate identification of Neisseria spp., Haemophilus spp., and other fastidious gram-negative bacteria. Testing was performed on the Vitek 2 XL system with modified software at three clinical trial laboratories. Reproducibility was determined with nin...
