Identification of Yersinia Species by the Vitek GNI Card

摘要

The Vitek GNI card was used to identify 212 isolates of 10Yersinia species. Identification was correct for 96.3% of the isolates (156 of 162) to the genus level and for 57.4% of the isolates (93 of 162) to the species level forYersinia spp. listed in the Vitek database. We recommend additional identification methods for isolates assigned to the genus Yersinia by the Vitek system.
