Comparison of three commercial test systems for biotyping Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophilus parainfluenzae.

چکیده
The biotypes of Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophilus parainfluenzae isolates were determined with three commercially available biochemical test kits: the IDS RapID NH system, the Neisseria-Haemophilus identification test (NHI card), and the API NH strip. The API NH strip performed best, correctly classifying the biotypes of 371 of 380 (97.6%) different challenge strains.

Evaluation of API NH, a new 2-hour system for identification of Neisseria and Haemophilus species and Moraxella catarrhalis in a routine clinical laboratory.
API NH is a new 2-h system (bioMérieux, La Balme-les-Grottes, France) for the identification of most Neisseria and Haemophilus spp. of clinical significance and of Moraxella catarrhalis and for the detection of penicillinase production. Furthermore, this system allows the biotyping of Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophilus parainfluenzae. Three hundred eighteen strains belonging to these specie...
متن کاملRapid biochemical characterization of Haemophilus species by using the micro-ID.
Biotyping of Haemophilus influenzae into five type and H. parainfluenzae into three types based on indole production, ornithine decarboxylase, and urease has been reported (M. Kilian, Acta Pathol. Microbiol. Scand. Sect. B 82:835--842, 1976). A commercially available test system designed for the 4-h identification of Enterobacteriaceae. Micro-ID, proved efficacious for the rapid biotyping of th...
متن کاملBiotyping of Haemophilus using API 10S--an epidemiological tool?
One hundred and ninety-nine strains of Haemophilus isolates were biotyped by Kilian's method(1) and a modified API 10S strip and the results compared. One hundred percent correlation was found between the two systems. The ONPG test proved of value in differentiating between Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophilus parainfluenzae when there was growth factor disc failure.
متن کاملComparison of two commercial kits for identifying and biotyping Haemophilus parainfluenzae.
The Minitek system and the more recently introduced Micro Scan HNID panels for the identification and biotyping of 98 V dependent Haemophilus isolates were compared. Identical results were obtained for 77 isolates. The discrepancy in the results of ornithine and urease was accounted for mainly by the mismatching of the identification by the two kits. When 13 isolates of H parainfluenzae with mi...

Three commercially available systems, the 4-h Minitek Enterobacteriaceae III, the Haemophilus Trio-Tube, and the Micro-ID, were evaluated for their capacities to identify and biotype 308 respiratory isolates of Haemophilus spp. When compared with aminolevulinic acid test results, the definitive identification method used in this study, these systems demonstrated no significant differences in th...
