Evaluation of VITEK 2 for discriminating Trichosporon species: misidentification of Trichosporon non– T. asahii

Abstract The VITEK 2 system was evaluated for the identification of 74 Trichosporon invasive and non-invasive clinical isolates, comparing its results with the IGS1 sequencing. The system correctly identified Trichosporon asahii but not non– T. asahii isolates, which represented nearly 50% of the in...

Zusammenfassung:	Abstract The VITEK 2 system was evaluated for the identification of 74 Trichosporon invasive and non-invasive clinical isolates, comparing its results with the IGS1 sequencing. The system correctly identified Trichosporon asahii but not non– T. asahii isolates, which represented nearly 50% of the invasive infections in our nosocomial setting.
