ABSTRACT

Corynebacterium jeikeium causes systemic infections, particularly in immunocompromised hosts. A minitube assay has been developed for the presumptive identification of C. jeikeium. With our rapid sucrose-urea test and conventional biochemical tests, sixty isolates of gram-positive, catalase-positive bacilli were identified in our laboratory. Results indicated that our assay has a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 90%.
