The Minitek Gram-Positive Set was evaluated as a means of identifying staphylococci isolated from bovine mammary glands. Initial accuracy was 79.2%. Misidentification of isolates due to data base deficiencies resulted with the animal-associated species Staphylococcus intermedius and S. hyicus. Minor modification to account for data base deficiencies permitted recognition of 87.7% of the isolates. Incorporation of additional veterinary isolates into the data base would improve the accuracy of the Minitek system and enhance acceptance by veterinary microbiologists.
对Minitek革兰氏阳性菌鉴定试剂盒进行了评估,作为一种鉴定从牛乳腺分离出的葡萄球菌的方法。初始准确率为79.2%。由于数据库缺陷导致对中间葡萄球菌和猪葡萄球菌等与动物相关的菌种的分离株出现错误鉴定。对数据库缺陷进行了轻微修改后,能够识别87.7%的分离株。将更多兽医分离株纳入数据库将提高Minitek系统的准确性,并增强兽医微生物学家对它的接受度。
