RESUMO

Forty primary clinical isolates and 50 stock cultures of corynebacteria and coryneform bacteria were tested with the Minitek system (BBL Microbiology Systems, Cockeysville, Md.). The Minitek correctly identified all of these organisms, including JK group isolates, within 12 to 18 h of incubation. The method does not require serum supplements for testing carbohydrate utilization by the bacteria. The Minitek system is an extremely simple and rapid way to identify the JK group, as well as many other corynebacteria, by established identification schemata for these bacteria.
