Identification of Gardnerella vaginalis with the API 20 Strep system.
A total of 137 strains of Gardnerella vaginalis were examined by the API 20 Strep system. The system was shown to be reliable when the tests were compared with standard identification methods, and very little confusion occurred with streptococcal profiles; consequently, G. vaginalis has been included in the API 20 Strep data base.
