Abstract

ABSTRACT 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.
