Evaluation of the Minitek system for identification of Enterobacteriaceae.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Clinical isolates (869) and stock cultures (35) of Enterobacteriaceae were tested in parallel with the Minitek and conventional systems. The Minitek correctly identified 822 of 904 cultures. When a deoxyribonuclease plate was inoculated along with the Minitek, it was possible to speciate Enterobacteriaceae within 24 h. False-positive hydrogen sulfide reactions were the major fault with this system. Reactions were clear-cut and easy for technologists to read.

Evaluation of the R/B and Minitek systems for identification of Enterobacteriaceae.
The R/B and Minitek systems for the identification of Enterobacteriaceae were evaluated, and the results were compared with those obtained by conventional methods. Both systems were rapid and allowed correct identification of about 85% of the 294 isolates (23 species) examined. The individual biochemical reactions showed an overall agreement of 92.6% and 93.1% for the R/B and Minitek systems, r...

متن کاملClinical evaluation of the minitek differential system for identification of Enterobacteriaceae.
Forty-one stock organisms and 581 fresh clinical isolates were used in comparing the Minitek system to conventional tubed media to determine if this system is feasible and accurate for a high-volume clinical microbiology laboratory. In addition to comparison with tubed media, the following parameters were tested: (i) reproducibility of disks, (ii) the effect of variation in inoculum size, (iii)...

Four miniaturized multiple test systems were compared with tube methodology used to identify Enterobacteriaceae encountered in foods. Identification aids supplied with each system were used to assign names to isolates at the species level. For the 129 strains tested, the Minitek system demonstrated a 96.9 percent agreement with reactions in tubed media. The Inolex, Analytab, and PathoTec test s...
