Abstract
The API STAPH-IDENT system was evaluated as a means for identifying Staphylococcus hyicus subsp hyicus straints isolated from swine and poultry. Of 80 strains from swine, 68 (85%) were correctly identified by the API STAPH-IDENT system alone after 5 h of incubation. When results were determined after 24 h of incubation, the accuracy of this system alone was 93.8%. By additional tests in conjunction with the API STAPH-IDENT system, however, all 80 strains could be correctly identified. Of 120 strains from poultry, 87 (72.5%) required additional testing to achieve a correct identification, and 33 (27.5%) were incorrectly identified by this system after 5 h of incubation. After 24 h of incubation, 99 of 120 (82.5%) avian strains were incorrectly identified as Staph epidermidis owing to false-negative mannose and trehalose utilizations. Seventy-seven (96.3%) of swine strains were positive for
