Abstract
A comparative study was made of the ability of three commercial identi fication kits to confirm the identity of motile aeromonads isolated fr om foods. The kits included the API 20E, API 20NE and Microbact 24E. T he results showed that both the API 20NE and Microbact 24E correctly i dentified 97.5% of isolates but the API 20E only 72.5%.
