Rapid identification of Candida glabrata based on trehalose and sucrose assimilation using Rosco diagnostic tablets.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We developed a simple method for the identification of Candida glabrata on the basis of the ability of this species to rapidly assimilate trehalose but not sucrose. After incubation of yeasts with Rosco diagnostic tablets containing sucrose or trehalose, identification of C. glabrata was achieved in 4 h with 100% sensitivity and specificity.

Comparison of a new commercial test, GLABRATA RTT, with a dipstick test for rapid identification of Candida glabrata.
This study compares the performance of a 3-h dipstick trehalose test with GLABRATA RTT, a new commercially available 20-min test for the rapid identification of Candida glabrata. With the exception of blood agar, GLABRATA RTT gave reliable results with all media tested and was always superior to the dipstick test.
متن کاملUse of cost effective and rapid molecular tools for identification of Candida species, opportunistic pathogens
Background and Purpose :Candidiasis is a widespread fungal infection caused by different Candida species. Rapid identification of Candida species in clinical laboratory is becoming increasingly important since the identification and discrimination of ethological agents for early treatment. We aimed at molecular identification of commonly Candida species isolated from clinical samples by using b...
متن کاملDisruption of the SNF1 gene abolishes trehalose utilization in the pathogenic yeast Candida glabrata.
The SNF1 gene product, a serine/threonine protein kinase, is a global regulatory protein which has been isolated from several organisms. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae the SNF1 gene product is essential for the derepression of glucose repression since snf1 strains are unable to utilize sucrose, galactose, maltose, melibiose, or nonfermentable carbohydrates. Moreover, the SNF1 gene product was sugg...

Background: Infections caused by opportunistic yeasts such as Candida species, Trichosporon, Rhodotorula and Saccharomyces have increased in immunocompromis- ed patients and their identification is crucial as intrinsic and acquired resistance of some yeast species to antifungal agents are on the rise. The aim of this study was to identify the organisms to the species level in order to...

Background: I Infections due to Candida spp. have increased dramatically in recent years through a rising number of predisposing factors and immunocompromised hosts. Although Candida albicans is the most prevalent and important causative agent of Candida infections, the importance of C. parapsilosis, C. tropicalis, C. krusei, C. glabrata, C. guilliermondii and C. kefyr have increased significan...
