The automated and computerized AutoMicrobic system (AMS; Vitek Systems, Inc., subsidiary of McDonnell Douglas, Hazelwood, Mo.) was evaluated as a means of identifying the Enterobacteriaceae. The Micro-ID system (General Diagnostics, Morris Plains, N.J.) and, when necessary, conventional tubed media were used for comparison. Identification by AMS and Micro-ID differed in only 12 of 1,528 isolates (0.8%). Disagreements occurred primarily with Enterobacter spp. Precision testing of the AMS showed only 1 of 72 tests (1.4%) deviating from the expected. The AMS was found to be an accurate and precise method for the identification of Enterobacteriaceae.
对自动化和计算机化的自动微生物系统(AMS;Vitek系统公司,麦克唐纳·道格拉斯公司的子公司,密苏里州黑兹尔伍德)作为鉴定肠杆菌科细菌的一种方法进行了评估。使用Micro-ID系统(通用诊断公司,新泽西州莫里斯平原),并在必要时使用传统的试管培养基进行比较。在1528株分离菌中,AMS和Micro-ID的鉴定结果仅在12株(0.8%)上存在差异。分歧主要发生在肠杆菌属。AMS的精密度测试显示,72次测试中只有1次(1.4%)与预期结果不符。结果发现,AMS是一种准确且精密的鉴定肠杆菌科细菌的方法。
