Four hundred forty-one clinical isolates of the family Enterobacteriaceae were identified in parallel by using the API Rapid E 4-h and the API 20E overnight procedures (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.). The results obtained by using the API Rapid E were compared with those obtained by using the API 20E. Discrepancies were resolved by using standard biochemicals. The API 20E identified 98.9% (436 of 441) of the isolates without the use of additional biochemicals and was found to be correct in each case of a discrepancy among the 436 isolates. The API Rapid E gave the same identification as the API 20E for 94.0% (410 of 436) of the isolates, misidentified 3.0% (13 of 436), and gave a correct but low-selectivity answer for the remaining 3.0% (13 of 436). The API Rapid E is a suitable alternative for the rapid identification of the Enterobacteriaceae.
采用API Rapid E 4小时鉴定法和API 20E过夜鉴定法（Analytab Products公司，纽约州普莱恩维尤）对441株肠杆菌科临床分离株进行了平行鉴定。将使用API Rapid E获得的结果与使用API 20E获得的结果进行比较。通过使用标准生化试剂解决差异问题。API 20E在不使用额外生化试剂的情况下鉴定出98.9%（441株中的436株）的分离株，并且在436株分离株中出现差异的每种情况下均被发现是正确的。对于94.0%（436株中的410株）的分离株，API Rapid E给出的鉴定结果与API 20E相同，错误鉴定3.0%（436株中的13株），对于其余3.0%（436株中的13株）给出了正确但选择性较低的答案。API Rapid E是快速鉴定肠杆菌科的合适替代方法。
