RESUMO
The Sensititre identification system (Seward Laboratory/GIBCO Laboratories) consists of a microplate containing a pattern of 24 biochemicals repeated four times together with an automatic inoculation device and a microcomputer-assisted data interpretation component. A total of 1,415 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae plus 6 isolates of other glucose-fermenting gram-negative bacilli were tested in three hospital laboratories in parallel with API 20E (Analytab Products). Discrepancies were resolved by conventional biochemical testing. Sensititre yielded correct identifications at the species level with 94.6% of the isolates and at the genus level with an additional 1.9%. API 20E yielded correct species identification with 91.1% and genus only identification with an additional 6.7% of the isolates. For the routine identification of clinical Enterobacteriaceae isolates, the Sensititre system compares favorably with API 20E and offers clinical laboratories the economy of a microtiter plate system as well as the benefit of a microcomputer capable of other microbiological and data management applications.
