  • Title: Evaluation of VITEK 2 for discriminating Trichosporon species: misidentification of Trichosporon non-T. asahii.
    Author: de Figueiredo DS, de Almeida JN, Motta AL, Castro e Silva DM, Szeszs MW, Del Negro GM.
    Journal: Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis; 2014 Sep; 80(1):59-61. PubMed ID: 24958642.
    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.
