The performance of the Vitek 2 (bioMérieux, France), a new fully automated system allowing rapid identification of microorganisms and susceptibility testing, and the Vitek 2 ID-GNB card (bioMérieux) was evaluated using 502 clinical isolates and stock collection strains of gram-negative rods belonging to 70 taxa. The number of isolates correctly identified to species and genus levels was 430 (85.7%) and 485 (96.6%), respectively. Clinical isolates of both Enterobacteriaceae and non-Enterobacteriaceae were better identified at the species level (95.3% and 74%, respectively) than stock collection strains (86.4% and 52.2%, respectively). The Vitek 2 ID-GNB card provides after 3 h a highly acceptable level of accuracy for identification of Enterobacteriaceae and non-Enterobacteriaceae, including most atypical strains encountered in clinical situations.

D004755 Enterobacteriaceae A family of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that do not form endospores. Its organisms are distributed worldwide with some being saprophytes and others being plant and animal parasites. Many species are of considerable economic importance due to their pathogenic effects on agriculture and livestock. Coliform Bacilli,Enterobacteria,Ewingella,Leclercia,Paracolobactrum,Sodalis
