This study presents an evaluation of the RIM-N kit (Austin Biological Laboratories, Inc., Austin, Tex.), a commercial system for rapid identification of Neisseria spp. and Branhamella catarrhalis. The system was compared with the cystine-Trypticase (BBL Microbiology Systems, Cockeysville, Md.) agar method; 218 isolates were tested by each method. There was 96% agreement between the two methods, and only nine discrepancies were encountered. The results suggest that the RIM-N kit may provide a rapid and reliable method for identifying Neisseria spp. and B. catarrhalis.
本研究对RIM-N试剂盒(得克萨斯州奥斯汀市奥斯汀生物实验室公司)进行了评估,该试剂盒是一种用于快速鉴定奈瑟菌属和卡他布兰汉菌的商业系统。将该系统与胱氨酸胰蛋白酶(BBL微生物系统公司,马里兰州科基斯维尔)琼脂法进行了比较;每种方法对218株分离菌进行了检测。两种方法的一致性为96%,仅出现了9处差异。结果表明,RIM-N试剂盒可能为鉴定奈瑟菌属和卡他布兰汉菌提供一种快速可靠的方法。
