<strong>Usefulness of CHROMagar Candida Medium, Biochemical Methods – API ID32C and VITEK 2 Compact and Two MALDI-TOF MS Systems for <em>Candida</em> spp. Identification</strong>
Journal Title: Polish Journal of Microbiology - Year 2016, Vol 65, Issue 1
Abstract
This study was conducted to compare of the yeasts identification results obtained with two new systems using the MALDI-TOF MS technique with the ones obtained using the routine identification methods of [i]Candida[/i] spp. in clinical microbiology laboratories. All 124 [i]Candida [/i]spp. isolates were recovered from the routine examination of clinical specimens in microbiological laboratories and collected in the Centre of Quality Control in Microbiology in Warsaw (Poland). Our findings confirm the high agreement (98%) of fungal identification using the standard, biochemistry laboratory methods and mass spectrometry technique.
