Identification of Bacillus anthracis by API tests.
API and morphological tests were examined for their ability to distinguish between 37 Bacillus anthracis strains (virulent and avirulent) and 194 strains of closely related Bacillus species (B. cereus, B. mycoides and B. thuringiensis). In addition, 34 strains of B. anthracis and four of B. cereus were tested by several other methods that included capsule formation, ability to grow on a selective medium, and sensitivity to phage. It was found that virulent strains of B. anthracis were easily separated from the closely related Bacillus species by most of the test methods; but separation of slightly virulent and avirulent strains of B. anthracis from the closely related species could be done only by API and phage-sensitivity tests.

Identification of Bacillus strains using the API system.
A system is described for the rapid and accurate identification of Bacillus isolates using a matrix of results from tests in the API 20E and API 50CHB strips and from supplementary tests. API System tests have been shown to be more reproducible than the classical tests. A taxonomy based upon API tests is in good agreement with those obtained by other methods. The results matrix can also be used in computer assisted identification.
