Abstract
A semi-automated commercial system (ID 32 E, bioMérieux) for 24-hour identification ofEnterobacteriaceae and other gram-negative fermentative and nonfermentative bacteria encountered in diagnostic microbiology was evaluated. Overall, the system correctly identified 506 (91.5 %) of the 553 strains tested, 94 (17.0 %) strains requiring additional tests for complete identification. Six (1.1 %) strains were misidentified and 33 (6.0 %) strains were not identified. Eight (1.4 %) strains were not present in the database and were misidentified or not identified. The system is a suitable alternative to existing systems for the identification ofEnterobacteriaceae and other gram-negative bacteria frequently encountered in clinical samples.Keywords
