What is API 50 CH?

API 50 CHB/E Medium is intended for the identification of Bacillus and related genera, as well as Gram-negative rods belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae and Vibrionaceae families. It is a ready-to-use medium which allows the fermentation of the 49 carbohydrates on the API 50 CH strip to be studied. PRINCIPLE.

What is API system in microbiology?

The analytical profile index or API is a classification of bacteria based on biochemical tests, allowing fast identification. This system is developed for quick identification of clinically relevant bacteria.

What is API bioMerieux?

APIWEB is a software product containing all of the API databases for a reliable automated interpretation of API strip results – when used on any compatible PC workstation. APIWEB is rapid and easy to use – key in the biochemical or numerical profile of the strip to obtain the organism identification.

What is API staph?

API® Staph is a standardized system for the identification of the genera Staphylococcus, Micrococcus and Kocuria, which uses miniaturized biochemical tests and a specially adapted database.

What does API 20e test for?

API identification products are test kits for identification of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria and yeast. API strips give accurate identifications based on extensive databases and are standardized, easy-to-use test systems.

What is API 20E test?

API (Analytical Profile Index) 20E is a biochemical panel for identification and differentiation of members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. It is hence a well-established method for manual microorganism identification to the species level.

How does API 20E work?

In the API 20E, the plastic strip holds twenty mini-test chambers containing dehydrated media having chemically-defined compositions for each test. They usually detect enzymatic activity, mostly related to fermentation of carbohydrate or catabolism of proteins or amino acids by the inoculated organisms.

What API means?

application programming interface
API stands for application programming interface. APIs let your product or service communicate with other products and services without having to know how they’re implemented. This can simplify app development, saving time and money.

How does API staph work?

API STAPH consists of a strip containing dehydrated test substrates in individual microtubes. The tests are reconstituted by adding to each tube an aliquot of API STAPH Medium that has been inoculated with the strain to be studied.
