A standardized identification system for Enterobacteriaceae and other Gram-negative bacillus bacteria.
Biochemical Tests
Tests that use various chemicals to see if bacteria have the enzymes or metabolic capabilities to convert those chemicals into a product.
Miniaturized Biochemical Tests
Plastic test strips with wells or pockets containing small amounts of chemical reagents needed for a test to be performed.
Dichotomous Key
A key used with a series of biochemical tests to identify different bacterial species from a culture.
API 20E Incubation
Overnight at 37 degrees Celsius.
