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...
