Evaluation of the Biomic V3 microbiology system for identification of selected species on BBL CHROMagar orientation agar and CHROMagar MRSA medium.
The Biomic V3 microbiology system identifies bacteria by reading the color of colonies selected by the user. For CHROMagar orientation, Biomic results agreed with conventional methods for 94% of the strains assayed. For CHROMagar MRSA, Biomic correctly identified 100% of the strains tested and did not misidentify two methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus strains growing on the plates.
