Critical 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 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 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 کاملIdentification of Nonfermenting Gram-negative Bacilli in the Clinical Laboratory.
Much has been written and said in recent years regarding the classification and significance of the Enterobacteriaceae. These organisms, without a doubt, exceed all other gram-negative bacteria as etiologic agents of disease, and because of their predominance they have deserved the attention that they have received. With the emphasis placed on these fermenting bacteria, however, a dearth of inf...
متن کاملBiochemical and susceptibility tests useful for identification of nonfermenting gram-negative rods.
Six hundred nineteen strains of nonfermenting gram-negative rods were tested for alkaline phosphatase, benzyl-arginine arylamidase, pyrrolidonyl arylamidase, ethylene glycol acidification, and susceptibility to desferrioxamine and colistin. The results were highly discriminant. Therefore, the proposed tests may be helpful for the identification of this group of organisms.
