Abstract
Laboratories offering comprehensive or specialized diagnostic microbiology services can complement other technology and enhance their capabilities for microbial identification by GLC. The main enticement of GLC is the versatility with which it can be applied. Except for the initial cost of capital equipment. expenses are modest. The specific applications employed by a given laboratory must be individualized, but GLC has considerable power as a tool in aiding the identification of nonfermentative and miscellaneous gram-negative bacilli, anaerobes, and mycobacteria. Applications that are more highly specialized—e.g., identification of un-usual or newly encountered pathogens, fastidious organisms, and atypical strains—are additional considerations for those laboratories engaged in such work.
