A total of 152 fresh consecutive yeast isolates were tested for their ability to produce germ tubes by the API GT system (Analytab products, Plainview, N.Y.) and by a conventional method. The API system was found to be less sensitive than the conventional method. The costs per test by the API system and the conventional method were $0.76 and $0.39, respectively.
