title: [Use of microsystems for the identification of Enterbacteria in the microbiological laboratory: comments on technics and identification procedures].
abstract: The Authors have pointed out the characteristics of 3 miniaturized systems for the enterobacteria identification: Enterotube, API 20 E, Minitek. They particularly described the accuracy in biochemical reactions and the agreement between the mini-systems identifications and conventional (routine media) identifications (and reactions); all the identification errors made with micro-systems are reported and explaned. Nine atypical strains, which give some identification problems, are reported with all the biochemical profils. The more typical characteristics of the 3 miniaturized systems are summarized in a table.
