| pubmed-article:10797992 | pubmed:abstractText | The aim of this study was to set accurate and reliable methods in the identification of streptococcal, enterococcal and staphylococcal species. Micro CSB Strep and Staph system consists each of a strip with cupules containing dehydrated substrates for biochemical identification of bacterial species. Baye's theorem was used to validate tests. Reactions from micromethods were clear and easily read. Identification of 229 strains of streptococci and enterococci was correct for most species with 98.7% species with 99.3% sensitivity. 41 strains of staphylococci were also correctly identified with 85.2% of specificity and 97.68% of sensitivity. | lld:pubmed |
