Rapid method for presumptive identification of Corynebacterium jeikeium.
Corynebacterium jeikeium causes systemic infections, particularly in immunocompromised hosts. A minitube assay has been developed for the presumptive identification of C. jeikeium. With our rapid sucrose-urea test and conventional biochemical tests, sixty isolates of gram-positive, catalase-positive bacilli were identified in our laboratory. Results indicated that our assay has a sensitivity of...
متن کاملInducible macrolide resistance in Corynebacterium jeikeium.
Corynebacterium jeikeium is an opportunistic pathogen primarily of immunocompromised (neutropenic) patients. Broad-spectrum resistance to antimicrobial agents is a common feature of C. jeikeium clinical isolates. We studied the profiles of susceptibility of 20 clinical strains of C. jeikeium to a range of antimicrobial agents. The strains were separated into two groups depending on the suscepti...
متن کاملComparison of rapid identification method and conventional substrates for identification of Corynebacterium group JK isolates.
In an effort to identify Corynebacterium group JK isolates rapidly, Rapid Identification Method (RIM series; Austin Biological Laboratories, Inc., Austin, Tex.) substrates were tested in parallel with conventional substrates. RIM reactions agreed with conventional substrate results, respectively, as follows: urea, 38 of 38; nitrate, 35 of 38; glucose, 35 of 38; maltose, 28 of 38; sucrose, 37 of...
متن کاملRapid sodium chloride tolerance test for presumptive identification of enterococci.
A rapid test is described which distinguishes enterococci from other group D streptococci in 8 to 24 h by use of a medium containing brain heart infusion agar, NaCl, dextrose, and bromocresol purple.
متن کاملRapid hippurate hydrolysis method for presumptive identification of group B streptococci.
A rapid test to detect the hydrolysis of sodium hippurate by beta-hemolytic streptococci within 2 h was developed. All group B streptococci tested were positive using this method and all other groups were negative.
