Accuracy of a rapid carbohydrate oxidation microtube method for identification of nonfermentative gram-negative bacilli.
A rapid carbohydrate oxidation microtube system (Carr Microbiologicals, Wichita, Kans.), designed for detecting the saccharolytic activity of gram-negative, nonfermenting bacilli, was evaluated and compared with the conventional oxidation-fermentation method. The oxidation of glucose, maltose, lactose, and xylose was tested with 430 strains of Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Achromobacter, Alcalige...
متن کاملUse of the Autobac IDX system for rapid identification of Enterobacteriaceae and nonfermentative gram-negative bacilli.
The Autobac IDX system was evaluated for its ability to accurately identify 290 gram-negative bacilli from 18 different genera. Excluding isolates with a low identification probability, the overall sensitivity of the system was found to be 95.8%. Late lactose-fermenting Escherichia coli, Citrobacter freundii, and Proteus mirabilis accounted for over 90% of the misidentifications. The Autobac ID...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Oxi/Ferm tube system for identification of nonfermentative Gram-negative bacilli.
The Oxi/Ferm tube system designed for identification of oxidative-fermentative gram-negative bacteria was evaluated for identification of nonfermentative gram-negative bacilli by comparing it with the conventional system. The nine biochemical reactions used as the initial tests in the Oxi/Ferm tube system showed a close agreement with the same conventional reactions. However, the system was onl...
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 کاملRapid differentiation of fermentative from nonfermentative gram-negative bacilli in positive blood cultures by an impedance method.
Rapid differentiation of fermentative gram-negative bacilli (fermenters) from nonfermentative gram-negative bacilli (nonfermenters) in positive blood cultures may help physicians to narrow the choice of appropriate antibiotics for empiric treatment. An impedance method for direct differentiation of fermenters from nonfermenters was investigated. The bacterial suspensions (or positive culture br...
