Identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci with the API STAPH-IDENT system.
A group of 300 clinically derived isolates of coagulase-negative staphylococci were tested in parallel with the API STAPH-IDENT system (Analytab Products) and 14 conventional biochemical tests contained in Kloos and Schleifer's simplified scheme for identification of human Staphylococcus species. STAPH-IDENT is a miniaturized biochemical test strip that incorporates four synthetic chromogenic s...
متن کاملIdentification of coagulase-negative staphylococci with the API staph system.
A kit for the identification of staphylococci based on the biochemical criteria proposed by Kloos and Schleifer (W.E. Kloos and K.H. Schleifer, J. Clin. Microbiol., 1:82-88, 1975) is now available commercially. The system was used to identify 100 strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from various body sites as the primary etiological agent of clinical infection. The increasing im...
متن کاملComparison of the MicroScan system with the API Staph-Ident system for species identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci.
To evaluate the accuracy of the MicroScan System (American Hospital Supply Corp., Sacramento, Calif.) for identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci, we tested 175 clinical isolates of coagulase-negative staphylococci. The results obtained by the MicroScan system were compared with those of the API Staph-Ident system (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.). Forty-three discrepancies betwee...
متن کاملReproducibility of API Staph-Ident system identifications of coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from blood.
Fifty-five isolates of coagulase-negative staphylococci from blood were identified four times each by using the API Staph-Ident (API-SI) system to determine the identification reproducibility of the system. Identifications were determined by using both Version 1 and Version 2 of the API-SI Profile Index. The 75 to 100% reproducibility levels, including reproducible nonidentifications, were 98.2...
متن کاملIdentification of Staphylococcus species with the API STAPH-IDENT system.
The API STAPH-IDENT system was compared with conventional methods for the identification of 14 Staphylococcus species. Conventional methods included the Kloos and Schleifer simplified scheme and DNA-DNA hybridization. The API STAPH-IDENT strip utilizes a battery of 10 miniaturized biochemical tests, including alkaline phosphatase, urease, beta-glucosidase, beta-glucuronidase, and beta-galactosi...
