Short Communication: Identification of Environmental Serratia plymuthica Strains with the New Combo Panels Type 1S
José Vivas; José Antonio González; Luis Barbeyto & Luis A Rodríguez
Abstract
Automated systems are required when numerous samples need to be processed, offering both high through put and test of a multiple simultaneously. This study was performed to compare the MicroScan WalkAway automated identification system in conjunction with the new MicroScan Combo Neg Panels Type 1S with conventional biochemical methods for identifying ten environmental Serratia plymuthica strains.
High correlation between both methods were observed for all the 21 tests evaluated, and the MicroScan system was found capable of correctly identifying all S. plymuthica strains tested. In all tests, the percentage of correlation was 100%, except in raffinose test
(91%).
