The Microring YT (MYT; Medical Wire & Equipment Co., Victory Gardens, N.J.) is a system for the rapid (24 to 48 h) identification of yeasts. The MYT system was evaluated and compared with the API20C (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.) system for its ability to identify 677 clinical yeast isolates. Only 458 isolates (68%) were correctly identified by the MYT system, and the accuracy of the system varied considerably (0 to 96%), depending on the species. While MYT was less expensive and convenient to use and results were available 24 h sooner, it is inadequate for identification of many commonly isolated yeasts and is not designed for the identification of Cryptococcus species.
微型环YT系统(MYT;Medical Wire & Equipment Co.,新泽西州胜利花园)是一种用于快速(24至48小时)鉴定酵母菌的系统。对MYT系统进行了评估,并与API20C系统(Analytab Products,纽约州普莱恩维尤)鉴定677株临床酵母菌分离株的能力进行了比较。MYT系统仅正确鉴定了458株分离株(68%),且该系统的准确性差异很大(0%至96%),具体取决于菌种。虽然MYT成本较低且使用方便,结果能提前24小时获得,但它不足以鉴定许多常见分离的酵母菌,且未设计用于鉴定隐球菌属菌种。
