Evaluation of new colorimetric vitek 2 yeast identification card by use of different source media.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The new colorimetric Vitek 2 YST card was evaluated for identification of yeasts (136 strains) with respect to the influence of different source media. The Vitek 2 YST card achieved satisfactory results for all yeast species tested, with the exception of Candida guilliermondii, Candida norvegensis, Candida parapsilosis, Candida rugosa, and Candida tropicalis. After simple additional tests, 93.7% of all the strains tested were correctly identified. A significant influence of the isolation medium on the identification rate could not be observed.

Comparative study of the new colorimetric VITEK 2 yeast identification card versus the older fluorometric card and of CHROMagar Candida as a source medium with the new card.
The new VITEK 2 colorimetric card was compared to the previous fluorometric card for identification of yeast. API 20C was considered the "gold standard." The new card consistently performed better than the older card. Isolates from CHROMagar Candida plates were identified equally as well as those from Sabouraud dextrose agar.
متن کاملUse of various common isolation media to evaluate the new VITEK 2 colorimetric GN Card for identification of Burkholderia pseudomallei.
The use of automated systems in the modern microbiology laboratory is becoming commonplace as the pressure of cost containment impacts on staff resources. With increased international travel and threats of bioterrorism, recognition and accurate identification of organisms such as Burkholderia pseudomallei is important. In areas where this organism is endemic, identification is not usually probl...
متن کاملEvaluation of the VITEK 2 system for rapid identification of yeasts and yeast-like organisms.
The new VITEK 2 system is a fully automated system dedicated to the identification and susceptibility testing of microorganisms. In conjunction with the VITEK ID-YST card the VITEK 2 system allows the identification of clinically important yeasts and yeast-like organisms in 15 h due to a sensitive fluorescence-based technology. The ID-YST card consists of 47 biochemical reactions. The database ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the new VITEK 2 card for identification of clinically relevant gram-negative rods.
The VITEK 2 card for gram-negative bacteria (bioMérieux,Marcy-l'Etoile, France) has been redesigned to improve the identification of fermenting and nonfermenting bacilli. Forty-seven biochemical tests, including 19 enzymatic tests, are present in the new card and interpreted in a kinetic mode. Final identification results are available within 10 h. The database allows the identification of 159 ...
متن کاملNew Vitek 2 colorimetric GN Card for identification of gram-negative nonfermentative bacilli.
The recent publication of Zbinden et al. (4) regarding the Vitek 2 colorimetric GN card for the identification of gramnegative nonfermentative bacilli contains data inconsistencies which the authors should have addressed before making recommendations for the use of this product. The authors stated that the 90 isolates tested were “well identified” but that 20/90 (22.2%) were not identified to t...
