Automated instruments for the identification of microorganisms were introduced into clinical microbiology laboratories in the 1970s. During the past two decades, the capabilities and performance characteristics of automated identification systems have steadily progressed and improved. This article explores the development of the various automated identification systems available in the United States and reviews their performance for identification of microorganisms. Observations regarding deficiencies and suggested improvements for these systems are provided.
20世纪70年代,用于鉴定微生物的自动化仪器被引入临床微生物学实验室。在过去的二十年中,自动化鉴定系统的功能和性能特点不断进步和完善。本文探讨了美国现有的各种自动化鉴定系统的发展情况,并对它们鉴定微生物的性能进行了综述。文中还提供了关于这些系统不足之处的观察结果以及改进建议。
