title: Same day identification of gram-negative rods with the Quantum II Microbiology System.
abstract: The Quantum II Microbiology System was challenged with 479 strains of Enterobacteriaceae and 155 strains of nonfermenters (contained in the data base) and Aeromonas/Plesiomonas. The percentages of strains correctly diagnosed within 5h (i.e., with out additional tests) at greater than or equal to 80% probability were 78% and at greater than or equal to 50% probability, 84.7%.
