title: [The use of improved commercial micro-LA-tests for the identification of different groups of microorganisms in clinical microbiology].
abstract: Lachema kits ENTEROtest 24, ENTERO-Rapid 24, ENTERO-Screen, NEFERMtest 24, STAPHYtest 16, STREPTOtest 16, En-COCCUS test were used in identification of 871 strains of microorganisms isolated from clinical material. The kits proved to be highly reliable: they identified 88.8-97.5% cultures and permitted rapid (within 4 h) identification of enterobacteria most often occurring in clinical practice. The advantages of these kits are stripped plates allowing identification of cultures in individual stripes, a wide spectrum of biochemical tests, modern composition of biosubstrates in suspension media, and rational disposition of the tests, allowing technologically simpler identification of a wider spectrum of cultures in one stage without difficult accessory tests. Comparison of the above kits with kits manufactured by bioMérieux (France) showed a 84.6-100% correlation of the results.
