Reported risk: A potential non-conformity has been identified related to Vitek2 GN ID test kit: AGLU (Alpha Glucosidase) may have a false positive reaction with some isolates of E.coli for this lot of GN ID test kits, which may contributes to the misidentification of these isolates of E.coli as Serratia fonticola.
