Four miniaturized multiple test systems were compared with tube methodology used to identify Enterobacteriaceae encountered in foods. Identification aids supplied with each system were used to assign names to isolates at the species level. For the 129 strains tested, the Minitek system demonstrated a 96.9 percent agreement with reactions in tubed media. The Inolex, Analytab, and PathoTec test systems exhibited 94.3, 93.8, and 92.7 percent agreement, respectively. Analytab identified 96.1 percent of the isolates to the species level, whereas the Minitek, PathoTec, and Inolex systems were able to identify 78.3, 32.6, and 27.1 percent, respectively. The results indicate that the Analytab and Minitek systems are acceptable substitutes for the tube methodology routinely employed in identifying enterics from foods. Although the PathoTec system might be used to screen isolates for thei...
