[Identification of enteric bacteria using the ENTEROtest 1 and 2 and the ENTERO-Rapid systems].

Abstract

The identification efficacy of two systems, ENTEROtest 1 & 2 and ENTERO-Rapid (fy. Lachema a. c., Brno), was compared. A total 123 well known strains of enteric bacteria were tested. The ENTEROtest 1 & 2 system correctly identified 87.0% tested strains to the species level, the ENTERO-Rapid system correctly identified 76.4% of these strains.
