Popis: API and Minitek Systems in Identification of Clinical Isolates of AnaerobicGram-Negative Bacilli and Clostridium SpeciesA comparison of the API and Minitek methods of biochemical testing was made on a variety of anaerobicbacteria. Although API and Minitek results were not compared to more standardized or conventional proceduresof identification, multiple repeat testing of the two systems was done on routine clinical isolates and knownorganisms to determine (i) whether the reactions were reliably consistent, (ii) the ease of reading the two systemswith respect to the frequency of questionable results, and (iii) the percentage of routine clinical isolates tor whicheach system yielded an identification. The* Minitek system gave a much lower incidence of difficult to interpretreactions. The two systems were comparable in terms of reproducibility and capability of yielding an identifica-tion ot the anaerobic gram-negative bacilli and Clostridium species, but were unsatisfactory tor ruotine use onmost ot the other anaerobic bacteria isolated.
