a
API reactions were read after 48 h and conventional reactions after 7 days of incubation.
b
The LCDC isolates originally had been identified as closely resembling C. matruchotii.
c
The Rapid CORYNE strips contain reactive ingredients in ordered groups of three as follows: nitrate reduction (NIT), pyrazinamidase, and pyrrolidonyl arylamidase; alkaline phosphatase, β-glucuronidase, and β-galactosidase; α-glucosidase, N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase, and esculin (ESC); urease, gelatin hydrolysis, and fermentation control; glucose, ribose, and xylose; mannitol, maltose, and lactose; and sucrose and glycogen (catalase was the 21st test).
d
v, repeat tests gave inconsistent results.
