Fifty-five isolates of coagulase-negative staphylococci from blood were identified four times each by using the API Staph-Ident (API-SI) system to determine the identification reproducibility of the system. Identifications were determined by using both Version 1 and Version 2 of the API-SI Profile Index. The 75 to 100% reproducibility levels, including reproducible nonidentifications, were 98.2% for Version 1 and 96.4% for Version 2. Version 1 gave an identification for 92.5% of the isolates with a 75 to 100% reproducibility, while Version 2 gave an identification for 100% of the isolates with a 75 to 100% reproducibility. The reproducibility of the API-SI identifications of coagulase-negative staphylococci from blood was good.

D013210 Staphylococcus A genus of gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, coccoid bacteria. Its organisms occur singly, in pairs, and in tetrads and characteristically divide in more than one plane to form irregular clusters. Natural populations of Staphylococcus are found on the skin and mucous membranes of warm-blooded animals. Some species are opportunistic pathogens of humans and animals.
D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.

D018805 Sepsis Systemic inflammatory response syndrome with a proven or suspected infectious etiology. When sepsis is associated with organ dysfunction distant from the site of infection, it is called severe sepsis. When sepsis is accompanied by HYPOTENSION despite adequate fluid infusion, it is called SEPTIC SHOCK.
