We compared the germ tube test for the direct identification of Candida albicans from positive blood culture bottles, with results obtained from subcultured colonies. The direct germ tube test was 87.1% sensitive and 100% specific for the identification of C. albicans when the results obtained from fungal colonies were compared.
我们将用于从阳性血培养瓶中直接鉴定白色念珠菌的芽管试验,与从传代培养菌落获得的结果进行了比较。当与从真菌菌落获得的结果相比较时,直接芽管试验对白色念珠菌鉴定的敏感性为87.1%,特异性为100%。
