Evaluation of the BBL Minitek System for the Identification of Enterobacteriaceae

RESUMO
Thirty-one different substrate disks were tested in parallel with comparable, prepared media (BBL) against a minimum of 300 cultures of Enterobacteriaceae. An overall correlation of 98% was observed with all the disks tested. In addition, the system was used to identify 461 fresh isolates of Enterobacteriaceae in parallel with conventional media using the schema used at the Veterans Administration Hospital, Baltimore. An overall correlation of 97% was observed. Minitek is a time and space saving system. It is accurate and easily adapted to the clinical laboratory. A wide variety of substrates are available, allowing most laboratories to use their own schema. The long shelf life of most disks is a definite advantage.
