Comparação dos métodos de identificação de leveduras por técnicas manuais com o método automatizado microscan rapid yeast identification panel

Resumo

The safe and fast yeast identification is of furthermost importance in fungai infections. The identification of 30 yeasts ( 20 of the Cândida and 10 of the Cryptococcus genus) was carried out by the conventional methods and by the MicroScan Rapid Yeast Identification Panei (RYI). Identification was obtained after 20 days by means of the conventional techniques, while results were obtained in 4 hours with the RYI. The comparison of the 2 methods showed a 100% and 95,2% agrcement to C. neoformans and Cândida, respectively. Different results werc observed with only one yeast, which was identified as C guilliermondii by the conventional methods and as Torulopsis cândida by the RYI. Results show that the automated method is an excellent option for the identification of clinically relevant yeasts.
