Comparison of three methods for identifying nonfermenting gram-negative rods. 1978

L Hofherr, and H Votava, and D J Blazevic

Seventy-six strains of nonfermenting gram-negative rods were tested on the Analytab Products, Inc. (API) system and on conventional media. In addition, 51 strains were tested on the Oxi-Ferm system. When the identification results were compared, the API agreed with the conventional system on 41% of the isolates and Oxi-Ferm agreed with the conventional system on 72% of the isolates. API had the greatest difficulty in identifying Pseudomonas aeruginosa. API and Oxi-Ferm both had difficulty identifying P. cepacia. Oxi-Ferm had more individual discrepant biochemical reactions than did API when compared to the conventional media, but still maintained a higher percentage agreement with the conventional system.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011549 Pseudomonas A genus of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria widely distributed in nature. Some species are pathogenic for humans, animals, and plants. Chryseomonas,Pseudomona,Flavimonas
D006088 Gram-Negative Aerobic Bacteria A large group of aerobic bacteria which show up as pink (negative) when treated by the gram-staining method. This is because the cell walls of gram-negative bacteria are low in peptidoglycan and thus have low affinity for violet stain and high affinity for the pink dye safranine. Achromatiaceae,Achromatium,Achromobacteriaceae,Gram Negative Aerobic Bacteria
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D001424 Bacterial Infections Infections by bacteria, general or unspecified. Bacterial Disease,Bacterial Infection,Infection, Bacterial,Infections, Bacterial,Bacterial Diseases
D001431 Bacteriological Techniques Techniques used in studying bacteria. Bacteriologic Technic,Bacteriologic Technics,Bacteriologic Techniques,Bacteriological Technique,Technic, Bacteriological,Technics, Bacteriological,Technique, Bacteriological,Techniques, Bacteriological,Bacteriologic Technique,Bacteriological Technic,Bacteriological Technics,Technic, Bacteriologic,Technics, Bacteriologic,Technique, Bacteriologic,Techniques, Bacteriologic
