Expert Solution

The Enteropluri possessed a lower requirement for extra tests in order to complete the identification, while the API system had fewer major errors. so Enteropluri should be preferred and should be ordered in bulk.

EnteroPluri-Test is a 12-sector system containing special culture media that permits identification of the Enterobacteriaceae and other gram negative, oxidase negative bacteria.

Microorganism is identified evaluating the colour change of the different culture media after 18-24 hours of incubation at 36 ± 1 °C and by a code number obtained from biochemical reaction interpretation.

EnteroPluri-Test makes possible the identification of the Enterobacteriaceae and other gram negative, oxidase negative bacteria isolated from clinical and environmental samples. The identification is based on biochemical tests performed on culture media containing specific substrates. The combination of positive and negative permits to identify bacteria .
