The classical methods used in the identification of yeast pathogens, such as the Wickerham and auxanographic techniques, are time consuming and technically complex (11). The increased incidence of yeast infections has stimulated the development of rapid and accurate manual and automated commercial systems for the identification of these pathogens. Ideally, these products should have the following features: (i) rapid and precise identification of yeasts isolated from all types of clinical specimens; (ii) ease of handling and inoculation to permit rapid processing of multiple isolates; and (iii) an ability to identify isolates that are less commonly recovered from specimens. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of the ID 32C system (bioMérieux, Marcy l’Etoile, France) commonly used in European countries to that of the API 20C yeast identification system (bioMérieux Vitek, Inc., Hazelwood, Mo.), one of the most commonly used yeast identification systems in the United States.
