Two commercial systems for the identification of yeasts were evaluated by using 159 clinical isolates that had also been identified by conventional biochemical and morphological methods. The API Candida system correctly identified 146 isolates (91.8%), and the AUXACOLOR system correctly identified 145 isolates (91.2%). However, of the 146 isolates identified by the API Candida system, 23 required supplemental biochemical tests or morphological assessment to obtain the correct identification. The AUXACOLOR system gave no identification in 13 cases (8.2%), while the API Candida system gave an unreadable profile in only one case. Incorrect identifications were more common with the API Candida system (12 isolates; 7.5%) than with the AUXACOLOR system (1 isolate; 0.6%).
使用159株临床分离株对两种用于酵母菌鉴定的商业系统进行了评估,这些分离株也已通过传统生化和形态学方法进行了鉴定。API念珠菌系统正确鉴定了146株分离株(91.8%),AUXACOLOR系统正确鉴定了145株分离株(91.2%)。然而,在API念珠菌系统鉴定出的146株分离株中,有23株需要补充生化试验或形态学评估才能获得正确鉴定。AUXACOLOR系统在13例(8.2%)中未给出鉴定结果,而API念珠菌系统仅在1例中给出了无法读取的结果。API念珠菌系统的错误鉴定(12株分离株;7.5%)比AUXACOLOR系统(1株分离株;0.6%)更常见。
