This report was initially submitted following notification from a customer in france regarding a misidentification of lelliottia amnigena (enterobacter amnigenus) as pantoea while testing an aglae proficiency sample with the api® 20 e strip (ref.(b)(4), lot number 1008041520).The review of production and quality control data for batch 1008041520 did not indicate any defects or anomalies which could explain the misidentification of the enterobacter amnigenus germ as pantoea spp.The tests performed using biomerieux¿s sample library of batch 1008041520 complied with specifications, and with the data obtained during the release of the batch.The tests performed on the customer¿s strain did not confirm the customer identification of pantoea spp.The expected identification of enterobacter amnigenus was obtained.The misidentification to pantoea spp obtained by the customer was not reproduced internally.The customer¿s issue was not confirmed; therefore, no preventive or corrective action is necessary.
