The API 20S system (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.) and the AutoMicrobic Gram-Positive Identification system (GPI; Vitek Systems, Hazelwood, Mo.) were evaluated for their capacity to identify the non-beta-hemolytic streptococci and aerococci to the species level. The 20S system identified 86% (six of seven strains) of nonhemolytic group B streptococci, whereas 100% of the same group B streptococcal strains were correctly identified by the GPI system. With both systems 99% (134 of 135 strains) of four species of group D enterococcus strains and 92% (24 of 26 strains) of the Aerococcus spp. strains were identified. The 20S system identified 84% (41 of 49 strains) of three species of group D non-enterococcus strains. The GPI system identified 96% of the same group D non-enterococcus strains. The 20S system identified 84% (190 of 226 strains) of 10 species of viridans streptococci; however, supplemental conventional tests were required to identify 49% (110 of the 226 strains) of the viridans strains to the species level. The GPI system identified 79% of the same viridans streptococci without the need for supplemental tests. Both systems identified 84% (161 of 192 strains) of the seven most commonly occurring viridans Streptococcus spp. The 20S system identified 82% (75 of 92 strains) and the GPI system identified 84% (54 of 64 strains) of Streptococcus pneumoniae.
