Evaluation of the Yeast Traffic Light PNA FISH probes for identification of Candida species from positive blood cultures
J Clin Microbiol.
2012 Apr.
Abstract
The Yeast Traffic Light PNA FISH kit (YTL) correctly identified Candida spp. in 207/216 (96%) positive blood cultures. Discordant results were seen with known cross-reacting species and cultures containing Candida lambica and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa. The YTL provides rapid, reliable identification of the five common Candida species found in blood cultures.
