Five commercially available systems for identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci to the species level were evaluated using 163 clinical staphylococcal isolates. The conventional method of Kloos and Schleifer served as reference method. The API20GP system showed the highest rate of agreement with the reference method, correctly identifying 98.8% of the isolates. The Microscan system had an overall rate of agreement of 96.3%, and Staph-Trac, Sceptor and Staph-Ident rates of 88.8%, 87.6% and 84.% respectively.
使用163株临床葡萄球菌分离株对5种市售的将凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌鉴定到种水平的系统进行了评估。Kloos和Schleifer的传统方法用作参考方法。API20GP系统与参考方法的符合率最高,正确鉴定了98.8%的分离株。Microscan系统的总体符合率为96.3%,Staph-Trac、Sceptor和Staph-Ident系统的符合率分别为88.8%、87.6%和84.%。
