a
+ and −, assimilation results were positive and negative, respectively, for all isolates; +/−, two or more strains were positive; −/+, one strain was positive. T. wratislaviensis was not tested with either the API 50 CH or the API 20C AUX system.
b
20C, the API 20C AUX system; 50 CH, the API 50 CH system.
c
T. wratilaviensis grew at 28°C but failed to grow at 35°C.
d
In degradation agars, T. wratislaviensis hydrolyzed tyrosine but failed to hydrolyze xanthine and hypoxanthine.
e
The substrates were not metabolized in either the API Coryne or the RapID CB Plus. system.
