Evaluation of the API 20E system for identification of nonfermentative Gram-negative bacteria.
The API 20E system for Enterobacteriaceae, recently broadened to include identification of nonfermentative gram-negative bacteria, was evaluated and compared with the conventional method for complete identification of 221 nonfermenters, which were well distributed into 48 species or biotypes and included organisms not listed in the API 20E data base. The results of 16 tests common to both syste...
متن کاملThe applicability of the API 20E and API Rapid NFT systems for the identification of bacteria from activated sludge
The purpose of this study was to test the applicability of the API 20E and API Rapid NFT systems for the identification of some predominant gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria isolated from lab-scale activated sludge treatment systems. In this study, one lab-scale sequencing batch reactor (SBR) and one lab-scale continuous-flow stirred tank reactor (CFSTR) were setup. After both reactors h...
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 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...
متن کاملAccuracy 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...
