Rapid characterization of oral and nonoral pigmented Bacteroides species with the ATB Anaerobes ID system

A J van Winkelhoff et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1988 May.

Abstract

The ATB Anaerobes ID system (API SYSTEM, La Balme Les Grottes, France) was evaluated for its ability to differentiate between species of the pigmented Bacteroides group. This identification system is based on the degradation of chromogenic substrates in combination with sugar fermentation reactions. The results showed that the ATB system can be useful for differentiation between the 10 pigmented Bacteroides species. However, additional tests may be necessary.
