The effectiveness of Micro-ID and API 20E as same-day identification systems for Enterobacteriaceae was evaluated in comparison with conventional identification by using 315 clinical isolates and 90 stock strains. The API 20E system was heavily inoculated according to manufacturer's recommendations for same-day identification. We found that 83 and 81% of isolates provided adequate inocula for Micro-ID and API 20E, respectively, and purity of the heavy inocula was not a problem with either system. Overall agreement with conventional identification at genus and species levels was 93.5% with Micro-ID and 90.2% with API 20E. However, when Klebsiella pneumoniae and K. oxytoca were considered as a single species and Proteus morganii was equated with Morganella morganii, agreement was 95.8 and 90.5%, respectively. Only 83.% of isolates were identified on the day of inoculation by API 20E, in contrast to 94.3% with Micro-ID. The remaining isolates required supplementary overnight testing. Provisional (low selectivity) determinations were constant with conventional identification with 49.3% of isolates with API 20E and 82.6% with Micro-ID. Telephone consultations with the manufacturers to resolve unprinted octal codes required a maximum of 15 min with Micro-ID and from 2 to greater than 48 h with API 20E.
