Fourteen strains of Haemophilus (12 H. influenzae, 1 H. parainfluenzae and 1 H. aphrophilus) were processed in BBL Crystal ID Enteric/Nonfermenter, API 20E and API 20NE kits, to determine whether the BBL kit misidentifies, as API kits may do, Haemophilus spp. as Pasteurella spp. The 13 H. influenzae and H. parainfluenzae strains produced uninterpretable colour reactions in the Crystal kit, thus signalling that an inappropriate species had been tested. On the other hand, the API kits (especially 20NE) often confidently "identified' Haemophilus spp. as Pasteurella spp., giving no warning that this was a misidentification.
对14株嗜血杆菌（12株流感嗜血杆菌、1株副流感嗜血杆菌和1株嗜沫嗜血杆菌）使用BBL Crystal ID肠道菌/非发酵菌鉴定试剂盒、API 20E鉴定试剂盒和API 20NE鉴定试剂盒进行检测，以确定BBL试剂盒是否会像API试剂盒那样将嗜血杆菌属误鉴定为巴斯德菌属。13株流感嗜血杆菌和副流感嗜血杆菌菌株在Crystal试剂盒中产生了无法解读的颜色反应，这表明检测的是不适当的菌种。另一方面，API试剂盒（尤其是20NE）常常自信地将嗜血杆菌属“鉴定”为巴斯德菌属，而没有给出这是错误鉴定的警示。
