False penicillin resistance in Neisseria meningitidis following direct susceptibility tests from blood cultures.

abstract：:Streptex was compared to routine laboratory identification methods available. The results from Streptex sometimes required several attempts before final identification could be achieved. In the main, group D streptococci other than Strep. faecalis failed to group with the Streptex antisera, and this method cannot ther...
