The commercial yeast identification systems API ID32C, Auxacolor, and Vitek were evaluated using 251 molecularly identified bloodstream isolates and 2 reference strains, representing a total of 35 species (6 common and 29 rare). Correct identification rates were higher for common species (Auxacolor, 95%; API ID32C, 94%; Vitek, 92%) than for rare species (Auxacolor, 43%; API ID32C, 56%; Vitek, 64%). All systems performed equally among the former, and Vitek performed best among the latter.
采用 251 株经分子鉴定的血流感染分离株和 2 株参考菌株(共 35 个种,6 个常见种和 29 个稀有种)对商业酵母鉴定系统 API ID32C、Auxacolor 和 Vitek 进行了评估。常见种的鉴定准确率较高(Auxacolor,95%;API ID32C,94%;Vitek,92%),稀有种的鉴定准确率较低(Auxacolor,43%;API ID32C,56%;Vitek,64%)。前一组中所有系统的性能相当,而在后一组中 Vitek 的性能最佳。
