The Repliscan system, a semiautomated method for identifying gram-negative bacilli, was evaluated for its potential usefulness in clinical microbiology laboratories. A total of 1,877 isolates, including 1,712 fermentative and 165 nonfermentative organisms, were tested in parallel with the Repliscan and Enterotube methods of enteric identification. Discrepancies were retested in each system as well as with conventional methods. The Repliscan method correctly identified 91%, misidentified 2%, and failed to identify 7% of the fermentative orgamisms tested. Of the genera under study, Enterobacter posed the greatest problem to the system in terms of overall identification rates. The Repliscan appears to be an efficient, economic, and effective laboratory tool for identification of Enterobacteriaceae.
Repliscan系统是一种用于鉴定革兰氏阴性杆菌的半自动方法，该系统在临床微生物实验室中的潜在用途得到了评估。总共1877株分离菌，包括1712株发酵菌和165株非发酵菌，同时采用Repliscan和肠管法进行肠道菌鉴定测试。每个系统以及传统方法对存在差异的结果都进行了重新测试。Repliscan方法正确鉴定了91%的受试发酵菌，错误鉴定了2%，未能鉴定出7%。在所研究的菌属中，就总体鉴定率而言，肠杆菌属给该系统带来了最大的问题。Repliscan似乎是一种用于鉴定肠杆菌科细菌的高效、经济且有效的实验室工具。
