What is API 20 E test?
This API-20E test strip (from bioMerieux, Inc.) is used to identify the enteric gram negative rods (although API makes a variety of other test strips for yeast, Staph, anaerobes, etc.) 20 separate test compartments are on the strip, all dehydrated. A bacterial suspension is used to rehydrate each of the wells.
What is an API 20E?
API 20 E is a standardized identification system for Enterobacteriaceae and other non-fastidious, Gram- negative rods which uses 21 miniaturized biochemical tests and a database.
What is API 50 CH test?
The API® 50 CH test is used to study bacterial growth on different carbohydrates (Table 1) and its derivatives (heterosides, polyalcohols, and uronic acids). The bacteria are resuspended in API 50 CHL medium or API® 50 CHB/E medium. The suspension is used to fill the tiny tubes (cupules) on the API strips.
What is API 50 CH?
API 50 CHB/E Medium is intended for the identification of Bacillus and related genera, as well as Gram-negative rods belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae and Vibrionaceae families. It is a ready-to-use medium which allows the fermentation of the 49 carbohydrates on the API 50 CH strip to be studied. PRINCIPLE.
What is API blood test?
The analytical profile index or API is a classification of bacteria based on biochemical tests, allowing fast identification. This system is developed for quick identification of clinically relevant bacteria. Because of this, only known bacteria can be identified.
What is API NH?
API NH® is a standardized system for the identification of Neisseria, Haemophilus (and related genera) and Moraxella catarrhalis (Branhamella catarrhalis), which uses miniaturized tests, as well as a specially adapted database.
What is API 50 CHL?
Lactobacillus and related genera. SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION. API 50 CHL Medium, intended for the identification of the genus Lactobacillus and related genera, is a ready-to-use medium which allows the fermentation of the 49 carbo- hydrates on the API 50 CH strip to be studied.
How do I use API 20e?
Take the API20E Biochemical Test Strip which contains dehydrated bacterial media/bio-chemical reagents in 20 separate compartments. Using a pasteur pipette, fill up (up to the brim) the compartments with the bacterial suspension. Add sterile oil into the ADH, LDC, ODC, H2S and URE compartments.
What is an API system?
API is the acronym for Application Programming Interface, which is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other. Each time you use an app like Facebook, send an instant message, or check the weather on your phone, you’re using an API.
What is API testing example?
API tests use extreme conditions and inputs when analyzing applications. This removes vulnerabilities and guards the app from malicious code and breakage. API tests can be integrated with GUI tests. For example, integration can enable new users to be created within the app before a GUI test is performed.
Why API testing is used?
API testing allows access to the application without a user interface or users interacting with the system. API tests can run without needing to experience the software application which gives an early insight into defects and errors. This allows for early issue resolution before the GUI is impacted.
Who uses API 20E system?
One of the API systems is specific for differentiating between members of the Gram negative bacterial Family Enterobacteriaceae and is called API-20E. The other API system is specific for Gram positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus species, Micrococcus, species, and related organisms, and is called API-Staph.
How do you test API?
API testing flow is quite simple with three main steps:
- Send the request with necessary input data.
- Get the response having output data.
- Verify that the response returned as expected in the requirement.
