Forty-one stock organisms and 581 fresh clinical isolates were used in comparing the Minitek system to conventional tubed media to determine if this system is feasible and accurate for a high-volume clinical microbiology laboratory. In addition to comparison with tubed media, the following parameters were tested: (i) reproducibility of disks, (ii) the effect of variation in inoculum size, (iii) the effect of the age of culture, and (iv) the effect of predispensing disks. A total of 5,947 disks were compared with tube reactions; 95.9% agreed on the initial reading. After repeating questionable tube and disk reactions, this agreement rose to 98.2%. Using the disk reactions and the identification schema currently in use with tubed media, 94.9% of the Minitek final identifications agreed with those of tubed media; 1.5% gave differing identifications and 3.6% were inconclusive. This system is accurate, inexpensive, flexible, and convenient.
使用41种标准菌株和581份新鲜临床分离株,将Minitek系统与传统的试管培养基进行比较,以确定该系统对于大容量临床微生物实验室是否可行且准确。除了与试管培养基进行比较外,还测试了以下参数:(i)药敏纸片的重复性,(ii)接种量变化的影响,(iii)培养物菌龄的影响,以及(iv)预分发药敏纸片的影响。总共将5947张药敏纸片与试管反应进行了比较;初次读数时95.9%一致。在重复有疑问的试管和药敏纸片反应后,这一一致性上升至98.2%。使用当前与试管培养基一起使用的药敏纸片反应和鉴定模式,Minitek最终鉴定结果中有94.9%与试管培养基的鉴定结果一致;1.5%给出了不同的鉴定结果,3.6%为不确定结果。该系统准确、廉价、灵活且方便。
