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 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...
متن کاملComparison of identifications of human and animal source gram-negative bacteria by API 20E and crystal E/NF systems.
This study compared the abilities of API 20E and BBL Crystal E/NF identification systems to correctly identify human and animal source gram-negative bacilli of known identifications, as provided by the American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, Md., and the Research Diagnostic and Investigative Laboratory, Columbia, Mo. Also addressed in the comparison are the cost, the relative ease of perfo...
متن کاملComparison of the API 20E and Oxi/Ferm systems in identification of nonfermentative and oxidase-positive fermentative bacteria.
The API 20E and Oxi/Ferm systems were tested in parallel to identify nonfermentative bacteria and oxidase-positive fermentative bacteria. Test strains consisted of consecutive clinical isolates, with stock cultures used to supplement those species infrequently recovered. The two microsystems, as well as tubes of triple sugar iron, motility, cetrimide, and oxidative glucose media, were inoculate...
