摘要
Fifty-two clinical strains and 22 type and reference Aeromonas strains, previously genetically characterized by 16S rRNA gene restriction fragment length polymorphism, were identified in parallel with the MicroScan Walk/Away and BBL Crystal Enteric/Nonfermenter systems. The former identified only 14.8% of the isolates correctly, and the latter identified only 20.3% correctly, which indicates that neither of these systems is useful for this purpose.
