Description
Thirty-one strains from the genus Bacteriods (12 species and subspecies) were tentatively identified using cellular fatty acid analysis. The procedures were slightly modified to permit use of packed-column, thermal conductivity instruments, such as would be found in clinical laboratories currently using analysis of volatile/non volatile fatty acids as part of a scheme for the identification of anaerobes. Different types of rapid extraction and commonly used meida . Teh overall rate of correct identification for the black-pigmented and related species of Bacteriodes was 67%. The considerable savings of time in obtaining presumed identification using inexpensive material may be of interest for the routine clinical microbiology laboratory.
