Identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with the API-20E system.
The API-20E multitest system was found to be capable of identifying Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates at least to the level of the Pseudomonas fluorescens group within 18 h at 35 degrees C. Additional tests, such as the acetamide reaction, growth at 42 degrees C, and the oxidative (OF) glucose test, assisted in the speciation of P. aeruginosa.
