title: [Evaluation of the ATB 32 E system for automated identification of Enterobacteriaceae].
abstract: A new automated system ensuring identification of Enterobacteriaceae within four hours was evaluated using 269 routine isolates, comparatively with the techniques routinely used in the laboratory. The ATB 32 E system correctly identified 96% (258/270) of strains and yielded incorrect results for 4% (11/269) of strains. ATB 32 E is a reliable system which is easy to use in everyday laboratory work.
