  Comparative Analysis of Identification by API Gallery and MALDI-TOF MS and Other Hydrogen Sulfide-positive Bacteria Carriers in the Digestive Content of Fish from the Atlantic Area of Macaronesia
  Author(s): Esther Gallo*
  
  In the context of seafood safety, the identification of H?S-positive bacteria is not only critical for detecting specific pathogens like, but it also serves as an important quality control tool for assessing the microbial contamination of fish products. The accurate and rapid identification of these bacteria is essential for preventing outbreaks and ensuring that seafood products are safe for consumption. The API Gallery system, developed by bioMérieux, is a widely used biochemical test panel that relies on the metabolic characteristics of bacteria for identification. The system consists of a series of miniaturized test wells containing various biochemical substrates that, when inoculated with a bacterial sample, allow for the determination of the bacterium’s metabolic profile...
