title: An evaluation of the New Roche Diagnostics Kit for the rapid identification of clinically important non-dextrose, non-fastidious gram-negative rods.
abstract: The evaluation of the new Roche Diagnostics Commercial kit (Roche Diagnostics, 1975) for the identification of non-dextrose fermenting, non-fastidious gram-negative rods has been compared with conventional methods in the recognition and identification of these non-dextrose, non-fastidious gram-negative bacteria. This new kit has definite advantages over and above the conventional methods in a number of ways. It is cheaper to run, and above all it is less cumbersome, less time consuming and it is accurate. Apart from all these, the new method makes use of the odour test (Roche Diagnostics, 1975) and other additional conventional tests recommended by the Oxi/ferm manufacturer.
