Abstract
The API 20E System and the Encise Enterotube were evaluated for the identification of the Enterobacteriaceae isolated from clinical specimens of animal origin at a veterinary diagnostic laboratory. Compared to conventional tubed media, the API 20E System identified 235 of 240 isolates (97.9%) correctly. The Encise Enterotube correctly identified 229 of the 240 isolates (95.4%). Thus, both these identification systems could be used to replace conventional methods for identifying members of this family isolated from animal origin.Mesh:
