The Oxi-ferm tube, an eight-compartment system suitable for the recognition of nonfermentative, gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria, was evaluated in conjunction with the oxidase test in a clinical microbiology laboratory setting. A comparison between this system and the 17-test routine examination was performed with 265 cultures representing 21 species. The results obtained with the Roche systems were supplemented with simple additional tests in accordance with Computer Identification Data rovided by the manufacturer. The Oxi/ferm tube approach worked satisfactorily in establishing the identity of the bacteria isolated from clinical specimens augmented with some representatives from culture collections. Reactions within the Oxi/ferm system were reproducible and comparable to laboratory prepared and controlled substrates.
Oxi-ferm管是一种适用于识别非发酵革兰氏阴性杆菌的八室系统，在临床微生物学实验室环境中与氧化酶试验一起进行了评估。该系统与17项常规检查进行了比较，使用了代表21个物种的265个培养物。罗氏系统获得的结果根据制造商提供的计算机识别数据，通过简单的附加测试进行了补充。Oxi/ferm管方法在确定从临床标本中分离出的细菌的身份方面表现令人满意，这些标本还补充了一些来自菌种保藏中心的代表性菌株。Oxi/ferm系统内的反应具有可重复性，且与实验室制备和控制的底物相当。
