Two commercially available biochemical test systems were evaluated for their ability to accurately identify species of the genus Escherichia. Three laboratories participated in the study. The test kits did not always correctly identify species of Escherichia, but only once was an isolate misidentified as Escherichia coli. These results and the reactions of the isolates on media normally used for drinking water analysis are discussed. Includes 5 references, tables.
