RESUMO

The LOGIC identification system (J.D. Perry, M. Ford, N. Hjersing, and F.K. Gould, J. Clin. Pathol. 41: 1010-1012, 1988) for gram-negative rods, performed with microdilution plates instead of tubes, was evaluated for strains isolated from all tested specimens except those obtained from stools (for which a different strategy was followed). Systematically extended with the oxidase test and lactose fermentation, it proved to be very reliable and extremely simple and economical.
