Evaluation 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 کاملEvaluation 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 rapid NFT system for identification of gram-negative, nonfermenting rods.
This study evaluated the ability of the Rapid NFT system (API System SA, Montalieu-Vercieu, France) to accurately identify 262 clinically isolated, gram-negative, nonfermentative rods without additional tests. Identifications were classified as correct; low discrimination, with a spectrum of two or more possibilities (additional tests necessary for accurate identification); and incorrect. Corre...
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 کاملRapid identification of nonfermentative gram-negative rods by the Corning N/F system.
A total of 1,298 nonfermentative gram-negative rods were used to evaluate the performance of the individual biochemical tests in the N/F System and to determine whether the observed results included sufficient key reactions for rapid identification. The system included an oxidase test, two screening tubes providing 5 test reactions designed primarily to identify pigment-producing strains of Pse...
