Evaluation of the API ZYM system for identification of Bacteroides and Fusobacterium species

T Hofstad. Med Microbiol Immunol. 1980.

Abstract

The API ZYM patterns of 97 Bacteroides and 25 Fusobacterium strains were examined. The system discriminated between B. asaccharolyticus, B. melaninogenicus ss. melaninogenicus, and B. melaninogenicus ss. melaninogenicus, but not between other Bacteroides species or between species of Fusobacterium. The results provided new information on the enzymatic activity of these groups of bacteria.
