An evaluation of the Replireader in the identification of Enterobacteriaceae isolated from urine and in the recording of sensitivity tests performed by an agar dilution method.
  1. P M Waterworth

    Abstract

    In the Replireader system for identifying Enterobacteriaceae, plates of biochemical media are inoculated with a replicator and the results are put into a computer. The machine correctly identified 92x2% of 734 strains of Gram-negative bacilli isolated from urine; it was incorrect in 0x8% and failed to recognise 7%. The Replireader was also used to record the results of sensitivity tests using a plate dilution method in which the drugs were provided by impregnated filter papers (Adapads).
