Evaluation of VITEK 2 colorimetric cards versus fluorimetric cards for identification of yeasts
Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis.
2006 Dec.
Abstract
The new colorimetric VITEK 2 yeast cards (YST) were evaluated versus the fluorimetric yeast cards (ID-YST). Of the 172 clinical isolates belonging to 19 taxa, 161 (93.6%) and 144 (83.7%) strains were correctly identified with the ID-YST and YST cards, respectively.
