In a clinical routine study 304 yeasts were examined with the aid of API 20 C Auxanogram (Analytab Products Inc.) Mycotube (Roche) and Bacto-Candida-albicans-Antiserum (Difco) (=CAA). API (in parenthesis the result of the Mycotube test) identified 99% (92.4%) correctly; without considering C. albicans, the result was correct in 96.5% (75.8%). The CAA indicated a high specificity against C. albicans. For the Routine Laboratory we recommend screening of all yeasts with the CAA; an additional morphological examination is also recommended as cross-reactions with C.tropicalis and Torulopsis species are found. The non-agglutinating yeasts can then be further examined with the API 20 C.
在一项临床常规研究中,借助API 20 C Auxanogram(Analytab Products Inc.)、Mycotube(罗氏公司)和Bacto - 白色念珠菌抗血清(Difco)(=CAA)对304株酵母菌进行了检测。API(括号内为Mycotube试验结果)正确识别率为99%(92.4%);不考虑白色念珠菌时,正确识别率为96.5%(75.8%)。CAA显示出对白色念珠菌的高特异性。对于常规实验室,我们建议用CAA对所有酵母菌进行筛查;由于发现与热带念珠菌和球拟酵母菌属存在交叉反应,还建议进行额外的形态学检查。然后可以用API 20 C对不凝集的酵母菌进行进一步检测。
