Abstract
Four commercial anaerobic systems (CASs) were evaluated for usefulness in identification of Eubacterium suis. Twelve strains were evaluated in each system in triplicate, and results were interpreted independently by 5 individuals. Statistically significant differences (P less than 0.01) due to strain variation and reader interpretation accounted for discrepancies encountered. The reactivity, repeatability, and unique profiles generated made both CAS-1 and CAS-2 suitable adjuncts for identification of E. suis when colony morphology and Gram reaction were considered. Limited reactivity in CAS-3 limited its use as an aid in identification. Variability in test observations and the large number of numerical profiles generated precluded use of CAS-4.Entities:
