A procedure for identification of bacteria comprises subjecting the bacteria to a combination of tests for determination of 26 bacterial enzymes, permitting rapid identification by use of tests generally adapted for determination of constitutive enzymes. The procedure generally permits more rapid identification than previous bacterial identification procedures and is universally applicable to a very wide range of bacteria including most bacteria which are commonly encountered clinically. In a particular embodiment the invention includes a procedure for rapid differentation of the bacterial groups Escherichia, Klebsiella spp., Proteus and Pseudomonas spp., comprising subjecting the bacteria to a combination of tests for determination of bacterial acid phosphatase. beta-galactosidase, glutamate decarboxylase, phenylalanine deaminase, cytochrome oxidase, diacetyl producing enzymes and urease. Additionally the invention includes kits for carrying out the procedures of the invention. typically comprising separate specific substrates for each of the enzymes which it is desired to determine, the kit being preferably in the form of a test card or other suitable apparatus comprising a plurality of wells or compartments which separately contain the enzyme substrates.
细菌鉴定程序包括对细菌进行测定 26 种细菌酶的组合试验,通过使用一般适用于测定组成酶的试验,可快速鉴定细菌。与以前的细菌鉴定程序相比,该程序一般能更快地鉴定细菌,而且普遍适用于各种细菌,包括临床上常见的大多数细菌。在一个特定的实施方案中,本发明包括一种用于快速鉴别埃希氏菌、克雷伯氏菌属、变形杆菌和假单胞菌属细菌的程序,包括对细菌进行测定细菌酸性磷酸酶、β-半乳糖苷酶、谷氨酸脱羧酶、苯丙氨酸脱氨酶、细胞色素氧化酶、双乙酰产酶和脲酶的组合试验。此外,本发明还包括用于执行本发明程序的试剂盒。试剂盒通常包括用于需要测定的每种酶的单独特异性底物,试剂盒最好采用测试卡或其他适当装置的形式,该装置包括多个分别含有酶底物的孔或隔室。
