Abstract:
Stock cultures (136) and fresh isolates (163) of Enterobacteriaceae from ground beef, processed chickens, frozen pot pies and commercial poultry feeds were identified to species with the AutoMicrobic System (AMS). All stock cultures and fresh isolates were also concurrently tested with two other identification systems (Micro-ID and API), previously evaluated and proven accurate for identification of Enterobacteriaceae . The AMS correctly identified to species 135/136 (99.3%) of the stock cultures and 160/163 (98.2%) of the fresh isolates. All Salmonella cultures tested (74) were correctly identified by AMS.
