چکیده

Candidemia was simulated with 15 Candida spp. by using an automated blood culture system. Candida growth was detected in 479/648 (74%) bottles: 211/216 (98%) aerobic bottles, 58/216 (27%) anaerobic bottles, and 210/216 (97%) mycology bottles. Only the growth of Candida lipolytica failed to be detected in all media.

Comparative analysis of simulated candidemia using two different blood culture systems and the rapid identification of Candida albicans.

The goal of this study was to determine the time to detection of Candida species isolates using the two most commonly used automated blood culture systems, and to evaluate rapid, widely available methods for the presumptive identification of C. albicans. Candidemia models of eight commonly detected Candida species were prepared using ATCC standards. The times to detection were evaluated using t...

Seminested PCR for diagnosis of candidemia: comparison with culture, antigen detection, and biochemical methods for species identification.

The rapid detection and identification of Candida species in clinical laboratories are extremely important for the management of patients with hematogenous candidiasis. The presently available culture and biochemical methods for detection and species identification of Candida are time-consuming and lack the required sensitivity and specificity. In this study, we have established a seminested PC...

Quantification and Optimization of Candida albicans DNA in Blood Samples Using Real- Time PCR

Background: Candida albicans (C. albicans) is a major cause of candidaemia in people with impaired immunity. Blood culture is a “gold standard” for candidaemia detection but is time-consuming and relatively insensitive. We established a real-time PCR assay for C. albicans detection in blood by LightCycler PCR and melting curve analysis. Methods: Five milliliter blood samples from...
