Comparison of BD Phoenix AP Workflow with Vitek 2.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The BD Phoenix AP instrument reduced the manual setup time for the Phoenix system by 50%. For batches of 14 organisms, the average manual manipulation time per isolate was 89.5 s for BD Phoenix by the use of the AP instrument and 101 s for Vitek 2 (P<0.001).

Analysis of the comparative workflow and performance characteristics of the VITEK 2 and Phoenix systems.
The VITEK 2 (bioMérieux, Marcy L'Etoile, France) and the Phoenix systems (BD Diagnostic Systems, Sparks, Md.) are automated instruments for rapid organism identification and susceptibility testing. We evaluated the workflow, the time to result, and the performance of identification and susceptibility testing of both instruments. A total of 307 fresh clinical isolates were tested: 141 Enterobact...
متن کاملComparative evaluation of the BD Phoenix and VITEK 2 automated instruments for identification of isolates of the Burkholderia cepacia complex.
We evaluated two new automated identification systems, the BD Phoenix (Becton Dickinson) and the VITEK 2 (bioMérieux), for identification of isolates of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC). The test sample included 42 isolates of the highly virulent and epidemic genomovar III, 45 isolates of B. multivorans, and 47 isolates of other members of the BCC. Rates of correct identification by the B...
متن کاملKPC screening by updated BD Phoenix and Vitek 2 automated systems.
Current BD Phoenix and Vitek 2 methodologies were assessed as screens for KPC β-lactamases. Using carbapenem MICs or expert system interpretations as screens, both systems exhibited high (97%) sensitivity in tests with 103 well-characterized Gram-negative isolates, 77 of which were KPC producers.

BACKGROUND Increasing reports of carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections are of serious concern. Reliable susceptibility testing results remains a critical issue for the clinical outcome. Automated systems are increasingly used for species identification and susceptibility testing. This study was organized to evaluate the accuracies of three widely used automated susceptibility ...
