RESUMO
Four hundred forty-one clinical isolates of the family Enterobacteriaceae were identified in parallel by using the API Rapid E 4-h and the API 20E overnight procedures (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.). The results obtained by using the API Rapid E were compared with those obtained by using the API 20E. Discrepancies were resolved by using standard biochemicals. The API 20E identified 98.9% (436 of 441) of the isolates without the use of additional biochemicals and was found to be correct in each case of a discrepancy among the 436 isolates. The API Rapid E gave the same identification as the API 20E for 94.0% (410 of 436) of the isolates, misidentified 3.0% (13 of 436), and gave a correct but low-selectivity answer for the remaining 3.0% (13 of 436). The API Rapid E is a suitable alternative for the rapid identification of the Enterobacteriaceae.
