  • Title: Novel application of video image processing to biochemical and antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
    Author: D'Amato RF, Isenberg HD, McKinley GA, Baron EJ, Tepper R, Shulman M.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 1988 Aug; 26(8):1492-5. PubMed ID: 3049657.
    Abstract:
    ALADIN (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.) is an automated instrument that uses video imaging (computer-assisted guided video camera) for the determination of biochemical and antimicrobial susceptibility test reactions. This collaborative investigation compared video-generated results obtained with ALADIN with visually determined findings. Both approaches were used to view identical reactions. Overall agreement for biochemical and antimicrobial susceptibility tests was greater than 95%. This study demonstrates that video imaging is an acceptable approach for determining microbial responses to biochemical and antimicrobial agents and may provide, with appropriate computer modifications, more accurate and reproducible results than are possible by visual scrutiny.
