      Microbiology instruments can provide rapid and accurate identification of gram-negative bacilli. The three instruments currently in widespread use vary in accuracy of identification, types of organisms identified, speed of identification, cost, and degree of automation. If matched to the needs of individual laboratories, microbiology instruments can enhance the quality and efficiency of bacterial identification.
