Api 20e typing system
The API 20E is a standardized identification system for Enterobacteriaceae and other Gram-negative rods. It consists of 20 miniaturized biochemical tests that enable the identification of the most frequently encountered members of the Enterobacteriaceae family and other Gram-negative bacilli.

Antibiotic Resistance Profiling of E. coli Isolates
The ATCC 25922 E. coli was used as a control strain, with whole bacterial strains maintained on nutrient agar. From the collected samples, the bacterial resistance of the 15 isolates was initially tested. The susceptibility was tested through the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion standardized technique, completed by measuring the diameter of the growth inhibition zone. The strains were classified as resistant or sensitive to the drug, according to the current interpretation standards presented in the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), Performance Standards for Antimicrobial Disc Susceptibility Tests [28 (link)–30 (link)].
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
