INTENDED USE
The Microgen GN-ID system employs 12 (GN A) or 24 (GN A+B) standardised biochemical substrates
in microwells to identify the family Enterobacteriaceae and other non-fastidious gram negative bacilli
(oxidase negative and positive). The kit is intended laboratory use only.
PRINCIPLE OF THE TEST
The Microgen GN-ID system comprises two separate microwell test strips GN A and GN B). Each
microwell test strip contains 12 standardised biochemical substrates which have been selected on the
basis of extensive computer analysis (1) of published databases for the identification of the family
Enterobacteriaceae and commonly encountered non-fastidious oxidase positive and negative gram
negative bacilli (2,3,4,5). The dehydrated substrates in each well are reconstituted with a saline
suspension of the organism to be identified. If the individual substrates are metabolised by the
organism, a colour change occurs during incubation or after addition of specific reagents (see
Substrate Reference Table). The permutation of metabolised substrates can be interpreted using the
Microgen Identification System Software (MID-60) to identify the test organism.
The GN A microwell test strip is intended for the identification of oxidase negative, nitrate positive
glucose fermenters comprising the most commonly occurring genera of the family Enterobacteriacea.
The GN A and GN B microwell test strips are used together to produce a 24 substrate system to
identify non-fastidious gram negative bacilli (oxidase negative and positive) in addition to all currently
recognised species of the family Enterobacteriacea (28 genera) - see data tables.
The GN B microwell test strip is designed to be used in conjunction with the GN A microwell test strip
and not on its own.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Safety:
1.
2.
The reagents supplied in this kit are for laboratory use only
Appropriate precautions should be taken when handling or disposing of potential pathogens.
After use, dispose of all contaminated materials by autoclaving, incineration or immersion in an
appropriate disinfectant e.g. sodium hypochlorite at a final concentration of 3% for 30 minutes.
Liquid waste containing acid must be neutralised before treatment.
Procedural:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
The Microgen GN-ID system should be used according to the kit instructions.
The microwell test strips must not be incubated in a CO2 incubator
Due to their more demanding nutritional requirements, Actinobacillus spp. and Pasteurella spp.
will require the addition of some form of enrichment to the inoculum. The addition of 1 drop of
sterile inactivated horse serum per mL of sterile saline when preparing the inoculum is
recommended.
If Pseudomonas fluorescens is suspected, the microwell test strips A & B should be incubated at
25C.
Incorrect incubation, inadequate filling of wells, or inadequate inoculum density may give false
results.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Carry out an oxidase test on the isolate. Oxidase positive organisms can only be identified by
inoculating both GN A and GN B microwell test strips.
Emulsify a single colony from an 18-24 hour culture in 3mL sterile 0.85% saline for the GN A
microwell test strip. If both GN A and GN B microwell test strips are to be inoculated, the colony
should be emulsified in 3-5mL sterile 0.85% saline. Mix thoroughly.
Carefully peel back the adhesive tape sealing the microwell test strip(s). Do NOT discard the
sealing strip(s) as they will be required later.
Using a sterile pasteur pipette, add 3-4 drops (approximately 100L) of the bacterial suspension
to each well of the microwell test strip(s).
As a purity check, transfer 1 drop of the bacterial suspension on to a purity plate using a nonselective differential medium. Incubate the plate aerobically at 35-37C for 18-24 hours.
After inoculation, overlay wells 1,2 3 and 9 (GN A microwell test strip counting from the tabbed
end) and wells 20 and 24 (GN B microwell test strip - well 13 is at the tabbed end) with 3-4 drops
of mineral oil. (NB Do NOT overlay well 20 if isolate is oxidase positive). These wells are
highlighted with a black circle around the well to assist in adding oil to the correct wells.
7.
8.
Seal the top of the microwell test strip(s) with the adhesive tape removed earlier and incubate at
35-37C. Ensure that the punctures in the adhesive tape are over wells 7, 11 and 12 in the
GN A microwell test strip and over well 14 in the GN B microwell test strip.
The GN A and GN B microwell test strips are read after 18-24 hours incubation for
Enterobacteriaceae, and after 48 hours for oxidase positive isolates.
3.
4.
Remove the adhesive tape and record all positive reactions with the aid of the colour chart
(included in this booklet). Record the results on the forms provided.
Add the appropriate reagents to the following microwells:
a) Add 2 drops of Kovac's reagent to well 8. Read and record the results after 60 seconds.
Formation of a red colour indicates a positive result.
b) Add 1 drop of VP I reagent and 1 drop of VP II reagent to well 10 and read after 15-30
minutes. Formation of a deep pink/red colour indicates a positive result.
c) Add 1 drop of TDA reagent to well 12 and read after 60 seconds. Formation of a cherry red
colour indicates a positive result.
For Oxidase Positive organisms, Perform the nitrate reduction test on well 7 after reading and
recording the ONPG result. Add 1 drop of Nitrate A reagent and 1 drop of Nitrate B reagent to
the well and read after 60 seconds. The development of a red colour indicates that nitrate has
been reduced to nitrite. If well 7 remains yellow or colourless after addition of nitrate reagents,
add a small amount of zinc powder. This will indicate whether nitrate has been completely
reduced to nitrogen gas.
i.e.
After addition of Nitrate A + B:
Red = Positive
Colourless/Yellow = Negative
After addition of zinc powder:
Colourless/Yellow = Positive
Red = Negative
Record these additional results on the forms provided.
GN B Strip
1.
2.
Remove the adhesive tape and record all positive reactions with the aid of the colour chart.
Record the results on the forms provided.
Read specific well as follows:
a) the gelatin well (13) must be read after 18-24 hours for Enterobacteriaceae and after 48
hours for oxidase positive isolates. A positive gelatin liquefaction result is indicated by black
particles visible throughout the well.
b) The arginine well is interpreted differently after 24 hours and 48 hours incubations:
24 hours (Enterobacteriaceae)
Yellow = Negative
Green/Blue = Positive
48 hours (Oxidase positive organisms)
Yellow/Green = Negative
Blue = Positive
IDENTIFICATION
On the Microgen GN-ID A+B Report Form, the substrates have been organised into triplets (sets of 3
reactions) with each substrate assigned a numerical value (1, 2 or 4). The sum of the positive
reactions for each triplet forms a single digit of the Octal Code that is used to determine the identity of
the isolate. The Octal Code is entered into the Microgen Identification System Software (MID-60),
which generates a report of the five most likely organisms in the selected database.
The software provides an identification based on on probability, % probability and likelihood with an
analysis of the quality of differentiation. Full definition of these terms and an explanation of their
usefulness in interpretation is provided with the software Help manual.
Note: For oxidase positive organisms (miscellaneous gram negative bacilli):
Record weak reactions as negativeThe results for oxidase, nitrate reduction and motility must be
included to form a 9 digit Octal Code
Example of Report Form
Important:
The Microgen GN-ID A microwell test strip will generate a 4 digit Octal Code.
The Microgen GN-ID A+B microwell test strips will generate an 8 digit Octal Code.
The Microgen GN-ID A+B microwell test strips will generate a 9 digit Octal Code for oxidase positive
isolates

*1 strain was identified as E. cloacae with Microgen GN A but as E. gergoviae by commercial test 1. However, E. gergoviae is not
included in the Microgen GN A database; (it is included in the extended Microgen GN A+B database). As this isolate was identified to
the correct genus, it was considered that Microgen GN A was equivalent to commercial test 1.
**6 strains identified by commercial test 2 as C. diversus, 1 strain as S. liquefaciens, 1 strain as K. ozanae.

REPRODUCIBILITY
Intra-batch: A panel of seven bacterial cultures was tested using three batches of GN A and 1 batch
of GN B. Each batch of product was used on 3 occasions using a different operator on each occasion.
Test results obtained by the three operators correlated very closely giving an overall intra-assay
reproducibility of >99%.
Inter-batch: Three batches of GN A and two batches of GN B were tested using a panel of seven
bacterial cultures. This gave an overall inter-batch reproducibility of >99%.
