Evaluation of API 20 STREP system for identifying Listeria species.

abstract：:An anaerobic incubator was compared with a standard jar system for the isolation of anaerobes from clinical material. Seventy specimens were selected as likely to yield anaerobes: 342 different anaerobes were isolated in the incubator and 347 in anaebrobic jars. These included Bacteroides spp (43%), Peptococcus spp (2...
