متن کاملAPI ZYM and API An-Ident reactions of fastidious oral gram-negative species.
API ZYM and API An-Ident enzymatic substrate tests were done on six oral species which are difficult to characterize with conventional biochemical tests. "Bacteroides forsythus, the "fusiform" Bacteroides species (A. C. R. Tanner, M. A. Listgarten, M. N. Strzempko, and J. L. Ebersole, manuscript in preparation), is difficult to cultivate in broth media, yet it gave 15 positive tests in these se...

متن کاملSusceptibility testing of fastidious organisms.
Sir, The NCCLS has published guidelines for the susceptibility testing of fastidious organisms. Following these guidelines for the assessment of a new trinem, sanfetrinem (GV 104326), against Neisseria spp. we obtained unexpectedly high MICs and therefore undertook a study to compare MICs obtained on a variety of media. The media compared were as follows: medium A, IsoSensitest agar (Unipath, B...
متن کاملLeuconostoc mesenteroides periprosthetic knee infection, an unusual fastidious Gram-positive bacteria: a case report
