We report misidentification of Candida albicans as Gram-negative bacilli owing to colony morphology on MacConkey agar and subsequent inoculation into GN-ID/VITEK-2. ATCC and clinical Candida strains (n = 24) masqueraded as various bacterial species when experimentally inoculated into GN-ID cards. This phenomenon should be considered when peculiar taxa or susceptibility are encountered.
我们报告了由于白色念珠菌在麦康凯琼脂上的菌落形态以及随后接种到GN-ID/VITEK-2中而被误鉴定为革兰氏阴性杆菌的情况。将ATCC和临床念珠菌菌株(n = 24)实验性接种到GN-ID卡中时,它们伪装成了各种细菌种类。当遇到特殊的分类群或药敏情况时,应考虑到这种现象。
