MARUCCO, Andrea P  e  INTEGRANTES DE LA RED DE MICOLOGIA CABA et al. Comparison of the identification results of Candida species obtained by BD PhoenixT and Maldi-TOF (Bruker Microflex LT Biotyper 3.1). Rev. argent. microbiol. [online]. 2018, vol.50, n.4, pp.337-340. ISSN 0325-7541.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ram.2017.10.003.

In patients with invasive fungal infections, the accurate and rapid identification of the genus Candida is of utmost importance since antimycotic sensitivity is closely related to the species. The aim of the present study was to compare the identification results of species of the genus Candida obtained by BD PhoenixT (Becton Dickinson |#91;BD|#93;) and Maldi-TOF MS (Bruker Microflex LT Biotyper 3.1). A total of 192 isolates from the strain collection belonging to the Mycology Network of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Argentina, were analyzed. The observed concordance was 95%. Only 10 strains (5%) were not correctly identified by the BD PhoenixT system. The average identification time with the Yeast ID panels was 8h 22 min. The BD PhoenixT system proved to be a simple, reliable and effective method for identifying the main species of the genus Candida.
