>>There are a number of commercially available strip/microtiter plate methods
available. Many of these have been evaluated and results published in the
Journal of Clinical Microbiology. You may want to review some of these
papers to see if the particular system you choose will do the job for you.
Among the systems available are Biolog, Microscan, BBL's Crystal, Vitek, and
I believe API has such a system too. Some of these require expensive
instrumentation, e.g. Vitek, others are read manually. Fisher Scientific,
Baxter and Curtin Matheson sell many of these kits.
