Abstract
The Analytab system of 20 biochemical tests for identification of
Enterobacteriaceae
was evaluated in parallel with conventional tests on 128
Enterobacteriaceae
, 5
Aeromonas
, and 1
Yersinia enterocolitica.
The results of tests for H
2
S and indole production, citrate utilization, lysine and ornithine decarboxylase, arginine dihydrolase, nitrate reduction, β-galactosidase, and fermentation of arabinose, rhamnose, mannitol, and glucose showed almost complete agreement between the two systems. Eighty-eight per cent of
Enterobacteriaceae
were correctly speciated with the Analytab system; on repeat testing with heavier inocula of organisms failing to ferment glucose initially, the proportion of
Enterobacteriaceae
correctly speciated became 93%.
