ENTERORapid 24 kit (PLIVA-Lachema, Czech Republic) was used for the identification of 321 strains isolated from the respiratory tract of different animal species in the Czech Republic and Ethiopia. A total of 207 strains were identified at the species level within 4 to 8 hours of incubation. In the same way, 39 strains were successfully classified at the genus level. The remaining strains (23.4 %) were not identified nor classified to the family Pasteurellaceae. The accuracy of the ENTERORapid 24 kit was compared to the results of the RapiD 20E kit (bioMerieux, France). The ENTERO Rapid 24 kit is the fastest system for the identification of P. multocida and M. haemolytica strains within 4 to 8 hours with a correct identification rate at the species level. We propose its modification for rapid identification of P. multocida, M. haemolytica and related bacterial species from the family Pasteurellaceae isolated from different animal species.
