Assessing the Potential of FT-IR to Identify Clinical Strains of Candida spp
نویسندگان
چکیده
21 clinical isolates of Candida spp were examined by FT-IR in order to compare identification using FT-IR with biochemical identification (bioMerieux ® ). FT-IR revealed itself as a fast and effective method for identification of the strains tested as all were placed into the appropriate species, including one which was misidentified by the biochemical method.

Merging FT-IR and NGS for simultaneous phenotypic and genotypic identification of pathogenic Candida species
The rapid and accurate identification of pathogen yeast species is crucial for clinical diagnosis due to the high level of mortality and morbidity induced, even after antifungal therapy. For this purpose, new rapid, high-throughput and reliable identification methods are required. In this work we described a combined approach based on two high-throughput techniques in order to improve the ident...

متن کاملRapid differentiation of closely related Candida species and strains by pyrolysis-mass spectrometry and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy.
Two rapid spectroscopic approaches for whole-organism fingerprinting of pyrolysis-mass spectrometry (PyMS) and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were used to analyze a group of 29 clinical and reference Candida isolates. These strains had been identified by conventional means as belonging to one of the three species Candida albicans, C. dubliniensis (previously reported as atypica...
