Candida glabrata is an emergent pathogen with diminished susceptibility to azoles, thus a rapid identification of this yeast could be of help to choose the appropriate treatment. GLABRATA RTT (Fumouze Diagnostics, France) is a new C. glabrata identification test. To evaluate its utility in the clinical laboratory daily routine, we prospectively tested 168 yeasts isolated in our hospital. GLABRATA RTT results had a sensitivity of 98.4% and a specificity of 100%. The combination of CHROMagar Candida isolation medium and GLABRATA RTT test allowed the identification of the four most common species in the clinical practice (Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida krusei and C. glabrata).
光滑念珠菌是一种对唑类药物敏感性降低的新兴病原体，因此快速鉴定这种酵母菌有助于选择合适的治疗方法。GLABRATA RTT（法国Fumouze诊断公司）是一种新的光滑念珠菌鉴定试验。为了评估其在临床实验室日常工作中的实用性，我们前瞻性地检测了我院分离出的168株酵母菌。GLABRATA RTT结果的敏感性为98.4%，特异性为100%。CHROMagar念珠菌分离培养基和GLABRATA RTT试验的联合使用能够鉴定临床实践中四种最常见的菌种（白色念珠菌、热带念珠菌、克鲁斯念珠菌和光滑念珠菌）。
