The Oxi/Ferm tube system designed for identification of oxidative-fermentative gram-negative bacteria was evaluated for identification of nonfermentative gram-negative bacilli by comparing it with the conventional system. The nine biochemical reactions used as the initial tests in the Oxi/Ferm tube system showed a close agreement with the same conventional reactions. However, the system was only 41% accurate to species or biotype for complete identification of 239 isolates which were well distributed in 48 species and biotypes and included organisms not listed in the Oxi/Ferm tube identification list. The system correctly identified 56% of the test organisms when the degree of identification was based on the manufacturer's guidance list. However, all isolates of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Bordetella bronchiseptica, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, P. diminuta, and group IIf were completely identified by the system.
通过与传统系统进行比较，对用于鉴定氧化发酵革兰氏阴性菌的Oxi/Ferm管系统进行评估，以确定其对非发酵革兰氏阴性杆菌的鉴定能力。在Oxi/Ferm管系统中用作初始测试的九种生化反应与相同的传统反应显示出密切的一致性。然而，对于239株分离株的完整鉴定，该系统在物种或生物型水平上的准确率仅为41%，这些分离株广泛分布于48个物种和生物型中，包括未列入Oxi/Ferm管鉴定列表中的微生物。当根据制造商的指导列表进行鉴定时，该系统正确鉴定了56%的测试微生物。然而，该系统完全鉴定了所有醋酸钙不动杆菌、支气管败血博德特氏菌、铜绿假单胞菌、微小假单胞菌和II f组的分离株。
