[Rapid identification of Enterobacteriaceae with the Micro-ID system (author's transl)]. 1980

W Peuckert, and K Pelz

Micro-ID, a new kit system for rapid identification of Enterobacteriaceae, was compared with a conventional media-system, the extended Enterotube system (completed with arabinose, rhamnose and the Voges-Proskauer reaction), and partially with the API-20E system. When the computer generated Identification Manual for Micro-ID was consulted the system showed complete agreement at the genus level, but differed in 5% at the species level. Problems arose from misidentifications by nonfermenting organisms. 15 turbid blood cultures with gramnegative rods were tested additionally. In 11 cases the Micro-ID provided correct identification of the species and in further 3 cases of the genus. In summary Micro-ID is easy to handle and an accurate, convenient kit for the short-term identification of Enterobacteriaceae.

D001769	Blood	The body fluid that circulates in the vascular system (BLOOD VESSELS). Whole blood includes PLASMA and BLOOD CELLS.
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
