Rapid identification of Enterobacteriaceae with the micro-ID system versus API 20E and conventional media.
The Micro-ID system for rapid (4 h) identification of Enterobacteriaceae was evaluated by testing 433 enteric bacilli and 9 other gram-negative bacilli. Each isolate was identified with conventional tubed media and was also tested in the Micro-ID and API 20E systems. The overall accuracy of both systems was 97%. Micro-ID tests for the Voges-Proskauer reaction, indole and H2S production, and orn...
متن کاملComparison of Micro-ID and API 20E systems for identification of Enterobacteriaceae.
The Micro-ID 4-h identification system for Enterobacteriaceae was compared to the API 20E overnight method, using 230 fresh clinical isolates and 74 stock cultures. Agreement was 97.8% for the clinical isolates and 93.2% for the stock cultures. Eighty-seven percent of primary culture plates containing gram-negative rods yielded sufficient growth to perform the 4-h Micro-ID identification on the...
متن کاملFour hour identification of Enterobacteriaceae with the API Rapid 20E and Micro-ID systems.
One hundred strains of Enterobacteriaceae were examined in parallel with the API Rapid 20E and Micro-ID commercial four hour identification systems. With the API Rapid 20E system 78% of the strains were correctly identified, 15% were not identified, and 7% were misidentified. The respective figures with the Micro-ID system were 74%, 11%, and 15%.
متن کاملTime-motion and cost comparison study of micro-ID, API 20E, and conventional biochemical testing in identification of Enterobacteriaceae.
A total of 730 Enterobacteriaceae strains isolated from 567 cultures were evaluated by a rapid kit method (Micro-ID; General Diagnostics, Morris Plains, N.J.; 4 h), an overnight incubation kit method (API 20E; Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.), and conventional biochemical test methodology (mostly overnight incubation and some rapid methods) to compare the amount of laboratory effort required...
متن کاملComparison of Enteric-Tek with API 20E and conventional methods for identification of Enterobacteriaceae.
Enteric-Tek (Flow Laboratories, Inc., Roslyn, N.Y.) is a new system designed for the identification of Enterobacteriaceae and consists of a round, multicompartmented plastic plate with 11 peripheral wells and 1 center well incorporating 14 biochemical reactions. Only one reagent (Kovacs reagent) is required to complete the biochemical test results for generation of a five-digit number for compu...
