Gas-liquid chromatographic analysis of cellular fatty acids for identification of gram-negative anaerobic bacilli.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A commercially available, computer-assisted microbial identification system (MIS) employs gas-liquid chromatographic analysis of cellular fatty acids for bacterial identification. MIS was compared with conventional identification systems. Of 225 gram-negative anaerobes tested, MIS identified 72.4% of the strains to the species level, 88.9% to the appropriate group, and 93.3% to the correct genus.

Rapid diagnosis of anaerobic infections by direct gas-liquid chromatography of clinical speciments.
Current methods to isolate and identify anaerobic bacteria are laborious and time consuming. It was postulated that the short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) produced by these organisms might serve as microbial markers in clinical material. 98 specimens of pus or serous fluid were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography, and findings were compared with culture results. Good correlations were found for t...
متن کاملIdentification of anaerobic nonsporeforming gram-positive bacilli by biochemical tests and gas-liquid chromatography.
There are many methods to identify anaerobic nonsporeforming bacilli: histological, bacteriological (biochemical test, microsystem API 20 A), serological, cell wall composition analysis, molecular methods and gas-liquid chromatography (GLC). A comparison between biochemical tests and gas-liquid chromatography was made in this study for the identification of this group of microorganisms. GLC con...
متن کاملApplications of cellular fatty acid analysis.
More than ever, new technology is having an impact on the tools of clinical microbiologists. The analysis of cellular fatty acids by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) has become markedly more practical with the advent of the fused-silica capillary column, computer-controlled chromatography and data analysis, simplified sample preparation, and a commercially available GLC system dedicated to micro...
متن کاملBacterial Identification by Gas Chromatographic Analysis of Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (GC-FAME)
For many years, analysis of short chain fatty acids (volatile fatty acids, VFAs) has been routinely used in identification of anaerobic bacteria. In numerous scientific papers, the fatty acids between 9 and 20 carbons in length have also been used to characterize genera and species of bacteria, especially nonfermentative Gram negative organisms. With the advent of fused silica capillary columns...

hydrates in the 2 API kits, except for ribose, maltose, glucose, and sucrose. Discrepancies in results between the 2 test kits were seen with ribose in 1 isolate (M398) and maltose in 2 isolates (M124 and M397). One isolate (M380) did not hydrolyze hippurate but produced acid from trehalose and xylose. This isolate was also α-galactosidase positive, a result different from that of the type stra...
