Commercially produced prepackaged “kit” microsystems were evaluated for the identification
of anaerobes. The API 20A and Minitek Anaerobe II systems by themselves were inadequate;
even with the use of supplemental tests, agreement of identifications with a conventional
method was only fair. Anldent is a new and radically different system that provides
accurate identifications after only 4 hours’ incubation in room air without the need
for a significant number of supplemental tests.
